“The fujara [pronounced foo-ya-ra] originated in central Slovakia as a large sophisticated folk shepherd's fipple flute of unique design. It is technically a contrabass instrument in the tabor pipe class. Ranging from 150 to 170 cm long and tuned in A, G, and F. It has three tone holes located on the lower part of the main body. The sound is produced by a fipple at the upper end of the main body of the fujara. The atypical design produces a deep, meditative timbre. Ornaments are traditionally added to the base melodies, which usually occur in the mixolydian mode.  The instrument has also left Slovakia and is played all over the world; particularly by aficionados of native flutes in Western Europe and North America.
The Fujara was proclaimed in the UNESCO list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005.[2] "The Fujara and its Music" was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008 by UNESCO.
