Fujara – kráľovná píšťal, duša našej krajiny
Za každým tónom našich fujár stojí príbeh – príbeh otca a syna, ktorí premenili drevo na hlas hôr. Z malej dielne v Podpoľaní putujú naše nástroje do celého sveta – od folklórnych súborov až po koncertné pódiá a kráľovské paláce.
Naše fujary držali v rukách japonský cisár, nórsky kráľ aj mnohí svetoznámi hudobníci. Ocenenia Instrumentum Excellens a Zlatá fujara sú potvrdením, že spájame remeselnú dokonalosť s dušou slovenských hôr.
Každý nástroj je originál – zdobený symbolmi predkov, vyladený na dokonalý tón a nasiaknutý vôňou dreva a olejov. Fujara nie je len hudobný nástroj – je to hlas predkov, dar pokoja, nástroj meditácie a muzikoterapie.
S láskou k tradícii a odvahou inovovať prinášame svetu jedinečný zvuk, ktorý lieči, dojíma a spája.
Fujara Koristek – keď drevo ožije hudbou.
Fujara is a slovak bass, cylindric, 3 hole edge-pipe with ingenious air feed. It has unique musical-acoustic features. Soft baritone colour of flowing tones with the possibility of dynamic expression from pianissimo to mezzoforte, natural tuning with characteristical lack of sharp sensitive tones with relevant touch elements this altogether makes the fujara an instrument of unique characteristics and instrumental qualities. Fujara’s real home is Slovak mountain area of central Slovakia, Podpoľanie which spreads under Poľana Mountain. It’s occurence in Slovakia is world unique.
Fujara – ‚the queen of flutes‘ – is an istrument which splendidly and baladicaly speaks about depths of human soul, joys, happiness, worries and griefs. Its sombre and murmuring voice, man inhaled poetry, can amazingly reveal the secluded inner places of human emotions and internally caress the spirit.
By its voice, fujara creates a wood choir, which in the beginning is a reverbiation of our forrests with gradually descending tones as if hopping along vast fields, meadows and pastures enfreshed of mountain stream splashes comes down from the hills to sit down as a tired plowman in front of his house and with deep murmuring tones praise the dawn and dim forrest hum.
Fujara is an istruments of shepherds. Purpose of fujara melody was to calm down the sheeps and provide them with better graze. The shepherd rounds his herd with fujara, it is then tamer, calmer and they better stick together. The so called ‚welfare effect‘ was gained. Effect of better comfort for animals whis is later seen on their vitality and efficiency.
