Overtone flutes and fujaras are certainly interesting instruments. I would love to learn how to play one of these instruments. Here is a link to a You Tube video where a European maker describes how to play an overtone flute:

I am looking for recommendations on where to purchase overtone flutes. I do see there are many European makers of these flutes, but wanted to purchase from someone from whom you may have had a positive experience.
I can recommend Milan Koristek http://www.fujera.sk/fujera---the-slovak-queen-of-flutes.506.html
and also Drahos Dalos http://www.fujaradd.sk/.
Both makers craft instruments of highest quality and precise tuning.
Thanks Michael-I will follow up on your recommendations
I had great experience with flutes made by Marek Gonda http://english.fujarka.cz/index.php
I own four of his instruments: a koncovka (an overtone flute), and three 6-finger hole flutes in various keys. All instruments are of exceptional quality, and aesthetically pleasing.

And always welcome for a visit to my place in France in the Cevennes, Sainte-Croix-Vallee-Francaise to try my flutes!
