Reed zampona panpipe, 'Siku'

Evoking the wind blowing across the highlands, this zampo�a panpipe is an essential instrument in Peru. It accompanies the folk music of the high Andes, where it is widely used. Introduced by the Inca centuries ago, it is also known as the siku. Benito Tito selects ten Castilla reeds of the same diameter, sands them and aligns them with precision. They are held in place with nylon monofilament and covered with synthetic fabric. A matching fabric case of Huancayo-style textiles is included, as is a complimentary case for eyeglasses.
