The floyara (Ukrainian: Флояра) (Floyarka) is a more perfected[clarification needed] form of the sopilka.
The floyarka is a smaller version of the floyara and is similar to the sopilka and frilka.
The mouthpiece is sharpened into a cone-like edge and the instrument produces a sound similar to that of the flute.
Shepherds were also able to accompany themselves with glutteral humming which produced an ostinato tone or drone.
The floyarka is often called a frilka or sometimes zubivka in central Ukraine.
