INTERESTING FACTS

The overtone flute is a traditional Slovak folk wind instrument. It is made from a single piece of wood, typically without any finger holes, which gives it its distinctive sound. The player changes the pitch using breath and subtle lip movement. The overtone flute is connected to shepherd traditions, and its sound is melodic and calming. It is often used in meditation or as part of folk songs and rituals in the mountainous regions of Slovakia and the Carpathians.
