Bamboo zampona panpipe, 'Malta Professional'

From Dionisio Quilla comes this delightful zampo�a, a bamboo panpipe of glorious tones that recall the wind blowing across the majestic Peruvian highlands. Zampo�a is an essential instrument to accompany the folk music of Peru and especially the high Andes, where this instrument is widely used. This zampo�a is considered to be of superior, professional quality - hence Malta Professional, for it comprises two tiers of flutes, one of six the other of seven pipes, to procure the perfect pitch. With a lifetime dedicated to the elaboration of Peruvian traditional instruments, Quilla states, "The making of professional instruments is a delicate endeavor - not only because of the special material but also for the tonalities it�s meant to produce." Quilla displays his expertise by carefully selecting the bamboo reeds according to the notes he wishes to produce and holds the reeds together with a small wooden slab. A brightly colored wool band creates a stunning decorative accent and includes an equally colorful wool case.
