Fujara Traditional Musical Instrument

[RussiaLove1905]

love the instrument so much I wish my hands were a little bigger though for the holes!

[raysteer]

@RussiaLove1905 There are smaller sizes of fujara, if you get in touch with a maker I'm sure it could easily be arranged.

[RussiaLove1905]

@raysteer Sweet!, that sounds like a good idea! Thank you so much :D:D

[cowboy2sk]

thank you for posting this excellent sound of slovak fujara. Where can I buy one of those instruments?

[raysteer]

@cowboy2sk If you are still interested I'm sure you could arrange to buy one from the guy himself.

This is beautiful sound our Slovakia fujara! Toto je nádherný zuk našej slovenskej fujary!

[ruantplat]

Good slide show! Thanks.

Fujara is my favorite overtone flute.

What kind of wood is traditionally used for fujara making?

[benet1000]

wood is sambucus nigra -latin name-

[ruantplat]

thank you

[raysteer]

@ruantplat Mostly Elder, but I believe sometimes Ash, Hazel, False Acacia and Maple (?), the drilling out requires that the wood has a distinct pith, so Elder is ideal.

Nice thing, greetings from Hungary!

[fujaras]

Ja, der Klang dieses Instrumentes ist wirklich ausgezeichnet. Ich bin aber nicht der Meinung, dass Einer unbedingt " bryndza essen und zincica trinken muss, um eine Fujara spielen zu koennen. Dem Fujarabauer

wuensche ich viel Erfolg. Lebt er in der Slowakei?

Mit Gruß

Its such a fabulous sound coming out from this instrument. Traditional instrument from Slovakia.But you can play on it only when you it "brydza" and drink "zincica":-)))

[Slovensko1]

The bryndza and zincica, along with slivovica would help. But don't you think that you shoudl give Dusan Holik credit for the music on this video? He is the one who played it....
