Subj: Re: [kl] South American horn?
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 03:57:31 -0400

I've seen at leaast three different instruments in "Andean" ensembles in
England making sounds of that sort:
1) A notched flute with "normal" fingerholes - I didn't count how
many; presumably the q(u)ena;
2) Panpipes consisting of multiple notched flute tubes;
3) A sort of S.W. European fluviol/txistu/whatever pipe on steroids -
i.e., a fat pipe with a whistle head and 2 front holes and 1 back.
Yours,
Roger S.
