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 5 keys. Here you can listen the sound of my kalyuka flutes and choose which one you want to buy. Another keys available by request.
