Dvodentsivka (Ukrainian: Дводенцівка) - (Dubeldentsivka, Zholomiha, Zholomiga) The dvodentsivka means literally two dentsivkas and this is what it is. Two dentsivkas are joined together into one instrument but usually only one has playing holes. The other pipe, although it is the same length, has no holes and acts as a drone.
