There are transcriptions of Moldavian Hungarian kaval music in Balogh Sandor's book/CD "Moldvai Hangszeres Dallamok".

Written notation is quite hard to use for an instrument where so many different harmonics are used.

I doubt very much you will find any written music but youtube will give you a good few results if you search for "romanian caval". Marin Chisar, Ion Laceanu and Dumitru Zamfira (among others) are accomplished caval players, it is well worth looking for recordings of their playing.
Thank you, it is quite helpful! :)

Looks like I should improvise and learn by listening...

Wow, I've been looking so long for some info on Romanian fluiere, google only gave me Romanian music store recorders and youtube videos that made my eyes go :puppyeyes: ...

I am going to Romania for Christmas and New Years, about two weeks total, flying in Bucuresti, flying out Cluj so I will be travelling at least half the country. I haven't found any website for craftsmen of fluiere, but if anyone knows of any I would be sure to stop by on my travels and pick some up.

Adding a few videos to the list of already awesome videos!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=en ... XBG2ad0k2s (I am trying to find this guy online, no success)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=en ... 7meQI&NR=1 (this is the one I'd like to get - key of E??)

The caval sounds amazing but to be honest I prefer the high fluiere like the ones shown in the above. Unfortunately, I can't think of anyone in my family that is musically involved that could steer me in the right direction. I'm sure I may find cousins of cousins and eventually get somewhere but by that might take too much tzuika.... Otherwise, I have high C and D pennywhistles and trying to improv with varied success.

Beautiful flutes! They look so much like the thai flute, khlui. The flute I bought off of ebay plays almost like a tin whistle except that it has 7 holes, the 8th is not played and a thumb hole. It's backwards in that the upper index hole acts as the thumbhole and the the thumbhole is the high note.
