Fun With The Fujara

[@patriciafriedson8860]

it is like one of those moments, especially in late afternoon or evening, when it feels like everything is still, and you can almost feel the earth moving. at first i didn't know how to hear the unusual sounds, but the more i listen, the more they seem like they belong and it is all beautiful, and mystical. thank you very much i wish everyone could hear this.

[@marekkucak6581]

I come from Slovakia and this is the first time I hear anyone play fujara like this. Simply amazing!

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

That's the tone!!! That overtone is the sound of ancient and wild Central Europe.

[@quondamchoir6615]

FallaciousScotsman yes!

[@thefaceofawsomeness491]

It sounds like a flute had a baby with a didgeridoo

[@quondamchoir6615]

Yeah I agree, perfect description

[@abdalaez]

You sir, are an extremely talented musician!! I can't stop listening to your videos. I only request that you might think about making a follow up video for the epic of gilgamesh. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@CelestialChorus9827]

Azeez Alkalidy, I want that also. I want to hear the whole story performed by Peter.

[@quondamchoir6615]

Agreed!

[@Slow-wheels]

Me Too....please...

[@alexanderb7721]

Luckily he did after all these years

[@makijezakon]

I once met a street musician in Croatia, Zadar, with a Fujara and some other whistles without any holes, just a hollow wooden pipe (never got the name), he thought me the basic, most fascinating and requires a lot of skill. Cheers

[@TomasDobroslav7]

I think you mean "koncovka" ... it is well known in Slovakia, just like fujara

[@mister-monkeyman]

I already see a whole film occurring before my eyes when I hear it

[@donshestko]

Mr. Pringle I love your work!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us :)

[@rosamalaga9539]

Mystical, contemplative, and beautiful.

[@STING00005]

oh man, your channel is amazing and delightfully weird. Rare instruments with cool sounds run through electronic processing and played in front of interesting backgrounds. I love it.

[@teexne]

I just discovered you and I am so happy I did! I love your performances. and thank you for teaching your audience about the instruments you play.

[@jesseatkinson7497]

same hear!

[@johnypsycho6880]

Fujara national soul Slovakia, you super music work..,thank you!

[@strangemeasuremusic]

Best sounding bong ever! As always amazing!!!

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

Took me to Goosebumps city :) What a lovely sounding thing, and a beautifully composed and performed piece.

[@jasonbrookshier]

This has to be one of the instruments in Andreas Vollenweider's music. It has always sounded ethereal, and I never knew how some of the sounds were produced, but I'm certain this must be one of the instruments he uses.

[@welovehorsesmeetup]

Omg love this so much. Thank you - have to go to Slovakia ...

[@MadSpectro7]

I've never heard of this instrument before, but I already love it!

[@78LedHead]

Mr. Pringle, you, sir, are an inspiration. I've just discovered you and you are as talented as it gets. God bless. Your song, "the Wanderer?" Haunting in the absolute best way. Much love and respect. God bless.

[@TheFlamingPike]

This guy is like Tom Waits if Tom had been raised in a good neighborhood, smoked weed instead of cigarettes and drank fine wine instead of whiskey.

[@JustinRaymer]

Always a pleasure. Thank you.

[@soliscrown1272]

An excellent video! Thanks for sharing and thanks for shining a light on this wonderful instrument.

[@Diegovz01]

Amazing as always. Thanks Peter.

[@tonfinder]

Hi Pete, greetings from a fujara player from Germany! I like your fresh and creative approach to the instrument (and your written explanation(s). Marco Trochelmann

[@foxsalinas55]

This squeezed some very healing tears out of me. Thank you for what you do.

[@fzuzka]

Thank you mister! You are an amazing musician. I've just stumbled upon one of your videos. I thought: What a beauty! But now. When I'm hearing my national fujara sounding like this is just unbelieavable. Thank you. Bless you. 💗

[@jamestodd9115]

Bravo! Thank you. That’s fantastic.

[@Gew219]

"Having fun with the Fujara" xD Oh, anyone who is Polish would laugh out loud at this title. It literally blows. Great performance from Peter, still. As usual.

[@alas_poor_Yorick]

LOL, I know it's been 2 yrs but i'm laughing now.

[@GoreTheSummoner]

hahahah true

[@3stefany]

@@GoreTheSummoner Will anybody dare to translate this title for English-speaking users? :D (I won't)

[@extradimension7356]

Wow... I'm a Tenor (sax) player and Maaaaan that guy can make that stubborn piece of wood shift! (gave a like, cuz I'm shocked there are no likes... What's that about! :-) I guess everybody is far too mesmerized to do the "Like" thang... Thanks for uploading this !!! Peace..

[@lindareese4579]

Thank you Peter so very very beautiful..it's like it's not of this world but to much better world of sounds and music...

[@465maltbie]

Playing a new instrument and using your feet at the same time, I cant even talk and type at the same time...thanks for the performance. Charles

[@edgarpasillas1204]

AMAZING STUFF !! IT'S MESMERIZING 😮

[@pierrem2983]

sounds peaceful and mysterious !

[@jeremiahmilazzo1446]

Beautiful , glad you share your conent marvelous

[@randifishenfeld]

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your beautiful musical soul with us. I thoroughly enjoy your posts. Beautiful music, beautiful instruments beautifully played and sung. I share your music on my Facebook page so others can enjoy it as well.

[@pabloalejandrojuarez9329]

I just discovered your channel yesterday and maan, i saw all your videos, their content is really interesting and good, keep it like that! 🎵🎧

[@xerispheri]

So beautiful....!!

[@webtodd]

I'm always stirred when hearing such beautiful and yet intuitively played harmonies. It makes listening to it an experience-it's not simply music. One thing... would love to hear you play it for a little longer. Smile

[@FreddyFuFu]

Beautiful

[@dimitrijohanrenucci4178]

magnifique merci beaucoup !!!

[@dimesonhiseyes9134]

I am pretty familiar with this sound but never knew what instrument made it.

[@dimitrijohanrenucci4178]

superbe !!

[@dmitrysofronov8624]

Just great!

[@Alexamdern]

Sounds like a mix between a middle eastern sound with scottish scales. We got some nice culture in Europe.

[@lashageorgian838]

Amazing! Thanks for that!

[@ivanzadikoff9245]

laying it down like a prince

[@ladislavlink2468]

Excellent Give us some more More of Gilgamesh And more of the Fujara

[@debdenair2055]

Amazingly beautiful, thank you for sharing :)

[@florenciagarcia5839]

Bravo Maestro!

[@shaalis]

That looks like so much fun to play

[@TomasDobroslav7]

A thing I´ve learnt from a Slovakian fujara player (from a video) is that if you want to ask someone to play fujara, it is better to say, TELL ME, not PLAY. Because it´s like you tell someone straight from your soul, by the sound.

[@IckMotU]

Ok - "just a little fun" and "rank amateur" are not the words, i have in mind right now :) Thanks!

[@goldentrout4811]

Incredible.

[@SP_33333]

Would love to hear you play the Carnyx.

[@BlueSwampyCraft]

Superb! So mysterious and splendid. Where is the background picture from? Looks like the orthodox cathedral from Sibiu, Romania

[@DarioAspesaniOfficial]

amazing!

[@merkur423]

wow your are a realy good artist peter

[@RenanBEreanSound]

You are a legend

[@wawazuzzy2064]

power packed and then some

[@isaiahhuerta9505]

You should come to the Oregon symphony at the arlene schnitzer hall.

[@NicStage]

Do you have any advice for making one like you did? Instructions somewhere? It sounds amazing!

[@thetraitor3852]

I know only of this video documenting the whole process. It's in Slovak language though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6bQdK1mjtaDkLs

[@Mulberry2000]

music of an elephant , i mean that as a compliment.

[@robertgoldthorpe1652]

Don't undercut yourself mate, that is good playing, both beautiful in sound and well done on making your own. I just purchased a pvc fujara too last week, I am a didgeridoo player but the Fujara is so much fun to play that I want to try a wooden one to feel the difference in play, you can play nice on a pvc didge but the depth of sound is far better on a traditional wooden didge. Great work my man 👏 Also where is the church you are playing in "Stunning"

[@ChefVegan]

I enjoyed, thanks :)

[@jonmarston4166]

Sublime xxx

[@CalinH]

Where is this? Looks like orthodox cathedral from Sibiu

[@wolfganggugelweith8760]

You mean Herrmannstadt.

[@SilvieFicova]

I am half Slova. Fujara comes from my "Vaterland" :-)

[@Mulberry2000]

Wow

[@alexandra2023-3]

Why the background with the Orthodox cathedral from Sibiu?

[@MarosHana]

because of your inspiration i got one fujara - what did you use for drone and reverb i wonder? awesome videos and music you do

[@Lepercurtidoo]

Nice, but it would be nice to also mention the other drone effects you use on this video (that you seem to activate with your feet). Makes people curious ;)

[@revtonynewnham]

fascinating sound. Any plans of the instrument on the web?

[@costezzo]

maybe this would help (in Slovak, but drawings are clear): www.maclab.sk/clanky/pvc_fujara.php

Thanks

[@chromesthesia]

you are so cool

[@deathbykungfu]

Any chance we could get the instructions you used to make yours?

[@theoriginallee1014]

I think I hear this instrument in every single movie Mel Gibson ever made and I know why. Its EPIC

[@lenardmezei8328]

The name is really close to the Hungarian "furulya" which is basically the recorder instrument. But this one is much cooler.

[@mentalcompassno1]

This one is so moving to me

[@dianavaldez3371]

Where was this filmed? Does anybody know?

[@sha_663]

Wow Silithus ost

[@martinahrncirova3004]

Thank you, for this nice performance. But playing Fujara (shepherds pipe) in our country (I am from Slovakia) realy is more wild, dolorous or more yoyful, because this souds represents our wild, stormy and sometimes deeply sad Slovak soul. This instrument was the main music instrument of shepherds in the mountains of High ang Low Tatras. Look for example this : Fujara - Daniel Homola a Ľuboš Dubovský Fujara- sounds of Poľana Five Fujara Songs & Melodies from Slovakia But Mr. Peter Springle is master of ancient songs, for me : his The Egyptian ancient love song is one of the best...

[@Xshathra006]

As a Slovakian myself I love his grasp of the instrument. It's different than how our musicians play it and honestly, I find it refreshing. Slovakian Fujara players tend to replicate the same traditional sound over and over again, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but It's nice to see it being done differently.

[@quondamchoir6615]

What composition/piece is this?

[@axelbengtsson8195]

It's a very nice. Getting didgeridoo vibes.

[@auroradarienzo]

[@hubyaprirodamariosvrcek8751]

that plastic pipe is awkward xdD :D :D

[@SlyHikari03]

Flidgeridoo (flute + didgeridoo)

[@carryyourcross92]

yo DUDE UR SO FUCKING COOL

[@vovac8915]

@ Peter Pringle .. Please write "fuyara" instead of "fujara" because english speakers could pronounce it wrong. Thank you for your work. You are enriching our civilisations.

[@TacoCat8891]

Vova C excuse me, he has the right to spell it any way he wants. Keep your entitled comments to yourself

[@vovac8915]

You piece of shit should watch your fingers! It is not HIS language and I can correct people if they are making a potential mistake. It is likely, that he is pronouncing it "foodzhara". So go to hell, piggy boy!

[@joeyhinds6216]

You two are both an embarrassment to the entire purpose of this work

[@mariaedithmaroca]

sounds a little like american indigenous flutes

[@Robertahausen]

it's a digiridoo with a cute little mouth piece :D

[@henrybergstrom]

Any Zero Horizon Dawn players in the room?

[@Nifn45]

It sounds almost reminiscent of a didgeridoo at some points

[@sebaobrana]
