I am very glad to see instrument made by me - 6-holes flute (píšťalka). Fujarka (small fujara) was made by Tibor Kobliček.

*Slovak, not Slovakian is the right adjective I love the echo effect. Fujara has always been my most favorite musical instrument, the sounds are simply transcending.

@@camo7452 It is only the Oxford English Dictionary that registers both terms, Cambridge and Merriam-Webster Dictionary have entries only for "Slovak", which is also more preferred by Slovaks. You have Czechoslovakia, Czechia, Slovakia, Czech republic, Slovak republic and Czechoslovak, Czech and Slovak as adjectives. When someone says "Slovakian", it simply comes off ignorant.

@@enlightenedterrestrial Fujara's three holes is from Slovakia, although a similar instrument appeared before in Poland, and was not folk. Over time, it became extinct. Fujara without holes is considered a Slovak instrument, and this is wrong, such sme instruments are popular throughout the Carpathians, are older than Slovakia.

@@SLAVIC.761 I was talking about grammar but... Alright. I haven't heard mentions of other "fujaras" (without three holes) other than Polish fujarka, which is quite a different instrument. Can you give some sources or at least names of those pre-fujara fujara-like instruments? I'm quite curious about that.

@@enlightenedterrestrial Unfortunately, the information on the net sometimes becomes inaccessible, and I can't find it, there was information that the Slovak fujara was modeled on the instrument of Italian soldiers, or Austrians, was smaller. However, many folk instruments were modeled on professional instruments, just like Polish bass is modeled on the cello, so probably the genesis of fujar can also be like that.
Thanks for this very informative
A simple hint. Just to be closer to slovak Fujara style, try improvisation in mixolydian mode. On G instrument start start by rozfuk, continue at upper D note and end at lower D note. Many foreigners play fujara in major scale ionian mode and this style sounds weird to traditionalists. Your play at koncovka was nice - you were forced to lydian mode by instrument limitation and you were pretty close to traditional play. I enjoyed your style at pistalka - not traditional, but impressive. I like it very much. Another hint: once you visit Slovakia, try to learn few folk songs. They are relatively simple, you can learn words and somebody can translate them for you. Those songs were composed and dedicated to limitations of traditional instruments. This can open you another dimension related to these flutes.
Excellent. Made my phone vibrate.
wow love it! indeed very ghostly and suitable for film scoring. Just reached your channel looking for this instrument and I'm excited about this great content!
Amazing how much reverb those slovakian flute makers can achieve...
Very nice video, thank you, Just a little correction regarding pronunciation from Slovakia: Koncovka is supposed to be pronounced KonTSovka and NOT KonKovka. "Koniec" means "the end" in Slovak language and koncovka name is something like "the end one" (female grammatical gender, just like "a whistle" has).

Like a suffix e.g.
Aku baru melihat flute seperti ini. Aku sangat kagum dengan bentuk dan karakter suaranya. Kalau aku di kasih kesempatan buat memelikinya aku akan sangat senang dan aku akan belajar untuk untuk membunyikanya dan pasti aku akan menikmati suaranya

Fujara oh fujara..
The c in koncovka is pronounced 'ts', it comes from the slavic word for "end" (I guess because you play using the bottom). A cool overview :)
So when is the Richard Harvey range coming? Seems like a great way of having about a million inexpensive, small specialist libraries.

nativeVS good point, I bet if they’re part of the new sample player you’ll be able to buy them all as a bundle or Ala carte.
Statement about 1 musical octave of fujara is wrong. The first octave between 1st and 2nd harmonic is too low, has only first 4 tones and is not used, but there are 2 musical octaves of major scale between 2nd and 8th harmonic, and several tones above as harmonics 9, 10, 11, 12. The 2 musical octaves are also fully chromatic (half steps), except 1 tone, for a G fujara missing tone is C#. That was solved by adding 4th hole above the top hole, on the opposite side of the tube, to control by my thumb. Now it can be played in any key, any kind of music. I promote fujara melodic playing , not use that majestic instrument for playing cheap sound effect, turning it into a musical toy! I have been teaching fujara every summer since 2011 at Common Ground on the Hill. Bob Rychlik
I ve heard the fujara in Romanian movies soundtracks ...there are Slovaks in Romania in the Carpathian mountains. I m wondering if fujiara may be a Dacian instrument. The far north of Romania was the territory of the free Dacians who were also called Getae. This name may have been mispronounced as Gothae--Goths. We know of this confusion in other sources.

????? No drugs, brother.
Do you publish collections of your favorite pieces in book form? I just bought a bansuri after listening to one of your videos. Love what you do with traditional flutes. I find myself hungry for a more earthy sound.
Hmm... Why so much digital echo??? Fujara has been used on the hills of Slovakia much longer then you state...
4:06 the flute is in the key of G(lowest note) like an alto G whistle, not in D Mr.Harvey
Is the echo effect in the flutes itself? Or was the video edited to add the echo?

Reverb/echo was added. These flutes (Fujara) really sound best with either natural echo from big rooms/mountain setting or artificially by using a mic and adding reverb.
Is this the natural (untreated) sound of these flutes, or has a reverb effect been added to the recording?

The reverb had been added
Goths? Is there a historical evidence for this? As far I know Fujara (pronounced Fuyara not Fuyaaara) is endemic to central Slovakian region.
Thank you for this video but this fujara has terrible sound. You should get repair it.
fujara and koncovka is more soul in central slovakia

That's because that region was settled by white huns, just as the southern part of the region, that was remained for Hungary. That region is ethnographically homogenous. The descendants of white huns call themselves "palóc" and "barkó". They also dressed white to refer their origin. These instruments are called "furulya", "hosszú furulya" and "tilinkó" in hungarian.
