Hi Simseba, Each finger hole is fine tuned by adjusting its diameter but these on average are 8-10mm. Positions are 83% 73% and 68% of the length from the fipple sharp edge to the end. Last hole is off centre to fit fingers in a comfortable position. HTH Paul

Cool instrument. Great instruction regarding the fipple end. I'm wondering about the precise position of the 3 holes. Also does the holes position dictate the key?
@GrumpaGladstone180916 жыл бұрын
Divide the active length(from the bottom edge of the window to it's end) of the fujara in half,divide the bottom half into six equal sections, take the marks at the top of the second, third and fourth sections and move them up by the internal diameter of the fujara, make your holes there.

thanks for this tutorial , nice job ! Now : an IMPORTANT CAUTION for your audience : industrial PVC is teratogenic ; that is, it causes genital malformations, and other whatnots due to its components. I have been using pvc for a long time to make flutes, but always with an intermediate part that preserves the oral mucosa from any contact with this plastic.

Hi, I've made one of these following your excellent tutorial. The sound is quite low even on the second octave. I have a few questions.... 1. Is this normal or is there any way to improve the sound? 2. The sound is coming from both the fipple and the end of the tube. Is this correct? 3. Finally, I've used garden hose........Will a better / more robust hose improve the sound? Hope you can help....

I made a cork by cutting off part of the pipe, sealed it on oner end with ducktape and filled it with hot-glue from a gluepistol. The rest goes as same as the pvc-flute from junkdojo, cause it is alittle tricky give the hardened glue a clean cut. ATTENTION While cooling the glue maybe needs refilling in the center. keep on going......

@massieko15 жыл бұрын
Hey actually I found that'd be the best likely thing to use too, I've got it to a point where it makes sound while the end it plugged but not much while the ends open. Not sure what the problem is but I haven't touched it much. Been a waiting project for quite some time but I've thought about finishing it, just haven't had much time. Worth it though! Awesome instrument!

Thanks for the video just did mine with your method. But yours came out better. the PVC that i used is a bit thicker than yours, it sounds a bit bassy. other than that It sounds good. I saw your other video on marking the holes on a flute, how can you compare that with the Fujara. most Elastic bands rip when they are stretched that long. By the way is the fujara best if it haves 6 holes or just 3? or is there more you can put on? Is it better if you put more holes?

How many holes is needed for the key notes? and I've been doing Ocarinas out of ceramics and i learned that it is hard tunning them, changing the size of the holes makes a big difference do you have all your holes different or are they the same? have you seen a real fujara? does it have the same size of holes?

Thank you for the tips...I don't quite understand about the ratio...But i have a pipe of at least 150 cm with 15 mm diameter..I`ll try to see if it`s working...What do you think? If i drill the holes at 83%, 73% and 68% (as u told to simseba) might work? Thanks once again for the clip. I did a persian ney and a bulgarian kaval with PVC pipes and it`s the most cheap and easy material to use and very original in sounding!
@BirdOfParadise77712 жыл бұрын
The "plug" that you cut and put in the top end... is it a specific length? Does the top edge of the rectangular hole have to be a specific distance from the top end? If the air is going back out of the rectangular hole... how does it make sound all the way down to the bottom end of the tube? The bottom end is open right? Thanks:)

ok i went and bought my 1 1/2'' pvc and my hose from a plumbing store. then i tried using dowl cuz i figured cork would be to poress? and of course it wouldnt match with anything. so i am going to my woods class from high school 12 years ago and hopefully there there and laith the dowl to fit snug. is this what i do? i planned on using chisels to make the ramp and fipple. i will try to post if it works. let me know if i am on the right direction? as well as any commentors?

Very sorry, that should have been "7 equal sections" not 6, i rooted out a Slovak manual i've got at home. You can trust the rest, it's a formula used by Slovak fujara makers, and i've used it myself. Maybe compare it with the percentage method if you want to make sure.

@marshallartsmedia6 жыл бұрын
It was over 10 years ago :) I have no clue Jordan. 1.5-1.6m if memory serves but can be as long or short as you like as long as it retains that proportion of length to width to kill the fundamental and be in tune for your needs. Cut a length of tube, form a fipple or just blow over the end to get a note. Cut off length until you hit the note you need tuning-wise then add finger holes to taste. You can also do it mathematically also, google for "calculate frequency of a tube enclosed at one end". The fujara finger holes are in the same proportional spacing as the bottom 3 holes on a standard penny whistle. laid out as a percentage of the distance from the fipple edge to the distal bottom end of the instrument. I give these percentages in the elastic band video around the same time as this. Hope that helps P
