The fujara is a shepherd's flute from under Poľana mountain: a tube of dry elder up to two metres long, a separate blowpipe, three finger holes, and a repertoire played almost entirely in overblown harmonics. It is too long to finger like a recorder, so it is played like a column of air.

Its ornament is cut, not printed — contour lines incised and browned with nitric acid, deep-notch carving, sometimes a strip of thin brass sheet set into the wood. Every maker ornaments their own instrument, so no two are alike. This system takes that literally: extreme verticality, very few elements, and lines that sit below the surface with a burnt edge.
