  • thanks !!!!

    great !!!!

    can you tell me please what the diameter of the fingerholes is and the exact placement regarding the tube length ( maybe from the botoom to the center of the holes) and why the last hole is not in the center

    thanks again !!!

  • Hi Simseba, Each finger hole is fine tuned by adjusting its diameter but these on average are 8-10mm. Positions are 83% 73% and 68% of the length from the fipple sharp edge to the end. Last hole is off centre to fit fingers in a comfortable position. HTH Paul

  • What are the hole spacings please ? Thx

  • Fantastic innovation! How exactly do you get the fipple? It's the only thing I'm having trouble with.

  • pvc fujara? stari otcovia by ta nou vyprasili poriadne po hrbe :))))

  • @seseker ba kieho a ešte pri tom robili oštiepky a volali sa Jánošíkovci.

  • Thanks for the video just did mine with your method. But yours came out better. the PVC that i used is a bit thicker than yours, it sounds a bit bassy. other than that It sounds good. I saw your other video on marking the holes on a flute, how can you compare that with the Fujara. most Elastic bands rip when they are stretched that long. By the way is the fujara best if it haves 6 holes or just 3? or is there more you can put on? Is it better if you put more holes?

  • Hello,

    Based on these dimensions.. do you know what key it comes out in please?

    Or anyone else out there who has made one based on this video.

    Cheers

  • How many holes is needed for the key notes?

    and I've been doing Ocarinas out of ceramics and i learned that it is hard tunning them, changing the size of the holes makes a big difference do you have all your holes different or are they the same? have you seen a real fujara? does it have the same size of holes?

  • thank you..

    what is the fipple made out of? wood?

  • te felicio... sos un maestroooooo
