Shepherd Overtones

The fujara is an overtone flute from central Slovakia originally played by shepherds. Their tradition and very special form of shepherd’s music was handed down through generations for hundreds of years. The specific construction of the fujara enables the player to create various overtones by altering the blowing pressure, and to play notes using the three tone holes. The sound of the fujara ranges from low, soft bass tones through sharp, high-intensity notes in the upper register.

Living in mountain huts in remote regions far from human settlements south of the Low Tatras, the shepherds played these instruments to cope with their solitude, to guide and signal their sheep, and to communicate with each other across the alpine slopes. Over the centuries, the fujara grew in length, with the sound becoming richer and deeper. In the 17th and 18th century the fujara and its sound became a symbol of resistance against the foreign rule of the nobility.
