The koncovka is a Slovak end-blown overtone flute without finger holes, most commonly made from hazel. It is sometimes called the little sister of the fujara. Both instruments were used by shepherds. The larger flute, the fujara, was considered the instrument of the herd leader and chief shepherd. The smaller koncovka was rather played by his assistants.

Without any finger holes or keys, the notes are produced solely by overblowing and by opening and closing the lower opening of the flute. Pitch is determined by air pressure and therefore volume, the lowest notes are also the quietest. Due to the limitation to the overtone scale, a legato patch based on scales is not possible. Instead, the library offers a wide range of phrases, patterns, and very rhythmical loops that allow you to create captivating performances.
