Please, see FAQ - how to choose.

I am smaller in figure. Can I play the fujara comfortably ?

You do not have to be "big" to play fujara:

I am myself (Tomas Kovac) - 176 cm / 69" high, and I can play all the available fujara overtone bass flutes comfortably. However, if you are much smaller or have "shorter" hands, please let us know this in beforehand and we can prepare for you a customized fujara flute (with no surcharge).

Which fujara flutes are suitable for "smaller" persons ?

In case you are under 165cm / 65", you can (but not necessarily have to) have problems playing some fujara overtone bass flute types or keys:

Recommended keys - for "smaller" persons under 165cm/65":

  1. A key - 150 cm / 60" long overtone bass flute
    can be played comfortably by anybody
  2. G key - 172 cm / 67" long overtone bass flute:
    can be played comfortably after some customization (free of charge)

We do not recommend you !:

  • F key ( 190 cm / 75" long overtone bass flute) - this fujara is simply too big !
  • Collapsible Fujara flute in 3 parts - due to its construction, this fujara type is suitable for taller (over 175 cm / 65") persons only !
