Folk Instruments Workshop and Pistala Making
Discover the living sound of Slovak folk music in a small, provincial workshop where artisans demonstrate the making and playing of traditional instruments, including the fujara – shepard’s overtone flute. Watch skilled makers at work, hear a short folk music presentation, then join a guided mini‑workshop to craft your own pistala from hazel using simple tools and traditional techniques. The session covers basic breath control, tone shaping, and a short tune to try on your finished whistle. This intimate, sensory CE Moment blends musical heritage with hands‑on learning and supports local folk‑art education.
