The instrument is called fujara(btw unfortunate name from Polish point of view)
Traditionally, the fujara was played by shepherds for recreation. Today, the fujara has moved from the shepherds' fields to the stage of folk festivals in the Slovak towns of Východná and Detva.
Anyway, it is built from 3 elements the biggest part has 3 holes in the lower part.
Usually it's quite long(up to 2 meters) instrument so players need to stand
Since 2008 it's also proclaimed in the UNESCO list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005."The Fujara and its Music" was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008 by UNESCO.
And here is example of music played only on a few fujaras

Slovakia is a home of fujara but one appeared among Czech (Moravian) shepherdss too - at the area of Moravian Wallachia
It is also necessery to say, that the fujara was not played just for recreation.. One was used also as signal:
- between shepherds working at opposite hills
- between shepherds working at the hill and village people living at the valley.
Shepherds pasturing sheep of the village people during summer season, and made chees from the sheep milk.
Shepherds had unique signal (or song) for each of their client - and when the cheese was prepared they played the correct song by the fujara.

The first time I've seen such an instrument. It sounds very relaxing IMHO.

sound so untypical for european music, more like something you would find in the andes mixed with a didgeridoo or something.
