About Fujara flute

Fujara is an outstanding flute for solo meditation playing:

• Fascinating compass of 2 and half octaves in 11 overtone series ("levels"),
• awesome dynamic range, natural playing technique, overtone-rich, soft haunting voice.

Fujara's beautiful overtones sounding in perfect harmony with the player's breath can give very satisfactory meditative feeling even for the very beginner and make the learning process fun, interesting and thus easy.

It means that fujara overtones just won't let you play bad. Fujara's unique breathing-like playing technique will lead you in improvisation and its natural harmonics will just "fit" and make the melody sound good. EVERYBODY can play Fujara nicely!

At the same time, every "Fujara" is a unique creative work of art - an original. Traditionally, it's 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 wood.
