Gajdica

The gajdica is an archaic instrument that was preserved in Lipany, a rural village in the Šariš region of Slovakia. The single-reed instrument consists of a wooden pipe made of hazel, elder, cherry, plum or maple, with a cow horn attached to the lower end.

The gajdica has six holes on the top part of its melodic reed, and a seventh one on the back side. It was originally used to play short pastoral motifs and shepherd songs of the Šariš region, for shepherding signals, and as an accompaniment to the unique shepherds’ culture dance. The sound of the gajdica is penetrating, rich and intense. Because of its playing style, with circular breathing and accents to melodic notes, it is similar to a one-piped bagpipe. A special, very quickly played form of vibrato gives the instrument a unique character.
