But has Rick got one of these? That Balkan music store must have one?
From today's Daily Torygraph online:

THE hills were alive to the sound of something peculiar yesterday as the Prince of Wales began the first royal tour of the seven-year-old Republic of Slovakia with a blast on one of Europe's most unusual instruments.

His first stop on his two-day tour of the poorer half of the old Czechoslovakia was the Carpathian mountain region around Banska Bystrica, the centre of the doomed Slovakian Uprising of 1944.

In pouring rain he strolled through a primeval forest where he was welcomed by the reedy wail of the fujara, a hybrid of the recorder and the didgeridoo favoured by Carpathian shepherds for 800 years.

Presented with his own model, the prince felt he should give it a go. "My fingers aren't big enough," he said as he tried to hold the 4ft instrument in the correct manner. He managed to emit a respectable selection of notes and promised to find some fujara recordings so that he could practice when he got home.
