It wouldn't be dare to say that Fujara is the same to flutes as the Didgeridoo to trumpets. So simple, so archaic, but so amazing!
At the same time, every Fujara flute is a unique creative work of art - an original. Traditionally, it is made completely by hand from deciduous trees (elder, maple, locust tree), and it takes up to one month to build a good Fujara from a seasoned piece of upland wood.

Hearing the Fujara for the first time is a mystical experience:
"From far away, a gentle wind seems to carry sounds as distant and dreamy as a landscape lost in the mists of time. With the breaking of dawn, color upon co lour emerges from the blue of the night. Silk-soft waves and pearl-like tones ripple above the deep basic tone. That is the Fujara."

What is Fujara ?

"It's undoubtedly the strangest, biggest and most majestic flute of Europe and maybe it isn't wrong to say it could be our Western equivalent (although much taller, differently shaped and with another playing technique) of the world-known Japanese Shakuhachi."
Fujara description by Jan Marmenout.

Fujara is over five and half feet (1.7m) long flageolet style fipple flute, hand made from wood of upland deciduous trees.
Fujara can be best described as solo overtone flute in bass position. As the Fujara has 3 fingering vents only, the height of tone is decided mainly by the strength of in-blown air. Fujara can play easily in 7 harmonic / overtone "levels" (all fingering holes closed) purely by overblowing. That also means one can play simple melodies by over-blowing only. Moreover, in combination with simple fingering technique, Fujara flute can play more than 21 various notes in the range of more than 3 octaves. Half shading and subtle breath variations give even more possibilities.
