  ______________________________

This is my version of kalyuka. I improved and simplified its construction,
so now it is possible to play on it in a very advanced way.

I made it from plastic to increase the durability and decrease its price.
In Russia this instrument was usually made from special bush "borshevik"
and used only for one season , bacause it was very fragile. But for
professional use it's quite inapplicable.

Unlike traditional one, this model is highly durable. It's only one instrument
i know on which it's possible to play inside the water or at 40-degree frost
without losing the technical possibilities. And of course you can use it
professionally to perform and record.

I play my own kalyuka for 6 years and I'm completely satisfied with it. This
is one of my most favorite instruments in my huge collection. I like its simplicity
and endless music possibilities!

I build kalyukas in 6 keys. Here you can listen the sound of my kalyuka
flutes and choose which one you want to buy. Another keys
available by request.

Some playing tips:

find the base lowest note in open position, than start to overblowing (change
thepower of blowing) to get different notes, then close the hole on the edge
and do the same with it. then try to switch between closed and opened
positions and overblowing in the same time.
