The telenka () (telynka, tylynka) is an overtone flute, a primitive form of dentsivka without fingerholes.
The pitch produced from the instrument is changed by placing a finger into the open end of the pipe, and covering this opening by a half or third etc. and also by the strength of the player's breath.
