A professional kaval from my Signature series, turned from premium ebony or grenadilla, with a rich, warm, focused tone and a refined, deep-black look.

Both woods are naturally dense, which keeps moisture out and gives a smooth, responsive feel. They are listed together because they look identical. Whether you are experienced or just starting out, it is at home in many styles.

Good to know: grenadilla, or African blackwood, is the same wood used for professional clarinets and oboes - one of the densest tonewoods in the world.

What you get

  • A professional kaval made from ebony or grenadilla, available in D, C and Bb.
  • Leather case included.
  • I personally play, tune and approve every one before it ships.

Choosing your key

  • D - the easiest to start on, the most common key, and the one all my lessons and materials are built around. My recommendation for beginners.
  • C - slightly lower, and it blends beautifully with the human voice; traditionally the key used to accompany folk singers.
  • Bb - deep and rich, but a little harder to play: it is longer, so the finger holes are spaced wider apart.

My promise

  • Turned by hand on the lathe by master kaval maker Biser Vasilev in Zlatograd, Bulgaria.
  • 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
  • 30-day money-back guarantee.
  • Ships worldwide from Bulgaria with tracking. In-stock instruments ship within 1 to 3 business days; made-to-order keys take about 2 to 3 weeks to craft.
