I recieved my Futujara yesterday and I am very pleased! The design is amazing and the instrument is very well made. I am thoroughly pleased thank you very much! It is a bit quite than I expected and I was wondering if you have any reccomended microphones or pickups that will attach comfortably to the instrument for use with an amplifier. Thank you again I am very happy with my purchase!

Kalyuka -
russian overtone flute (Key G#)

Lenght: 76.4 cm

Kalyuka is ancient russian overtone flute without the holes, without fipple and with an embouchure notch.

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.

How to Play Kalyuka:

we plan to make tutorial video for the kalyuka in near future. For now please use this manual:

  • Place the Kalyuka to your lower lip. The u-notch should rest on the upper segment of your lower lip. Hold the kalyuka by your left hand and fix it in stable position.
  • Begin to blow straight out and try to direct the stream of air to the edge of u-notch. Tilt the angle of the u-notch up and down until it makes a whistling noise.
  • Once you are able to get more or less stable sound, try to close the bottom hole with the joined index and middle fingers of your right hand (for A, G# kalyuka) or with the middle finger of your right hand (for smaller D, C and G kalyukas). You will notice the note change. In fact, scale of kalyuka is the combination of 2 overtone scales: one in open position and one in closed position.
  • Find the base lowest note in open position, than start to overblow (change the power 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 to get the whole scale.
