ITEM DESCRIPTION The pan pipe, also known as the pan flute or zampona is probably one of the most well known traditional musical instruments of the Andes.Played by the indigenous Andean tribes people for countless generations, these beautiful instruments come in many shapes and sizes and vary in name depending on the particular regions they come from.Known by the Quechua tribes as the antara, by the Aymara as the the siku or zampolla, and more commonly referred to as the Spanish zampona, these handmade Bolivian panpipes are the genuine article and produce a beautiful sound reminiscent of their ancestral heritage and worthy of concert performance.As with all the instruments here on Original Artisan, the zamponas you see here are professional instruments and should not be confused with cheaper tourist grade pan pipes sold in Peruvian markets and other internet trinket sites.Traditionally crafted in Bolivia by Mamani, our most highly regarded luthier who also makes many of the flutes here on Original Artisan, these pan flutes come with a handmade deluxe zampona case to protect the instrument from changes in temperature and humidity.There are 4 kinds of zampona, each tuned 1/8 of an octave higher than it’s sibling. The lowest known as the Toyos, then the Zankas, the Maltas and the highest being the Chulis. Chromatic Tuning These particular pan pipes are of the Malta type and are comprised of 30 bamboo tubes of varying lengths, fashioned in 3 rows of 11, 10 and 9 pipes.The first two rows producing notes of of Sol Major (G) and the third row producing the chromatic intervals. It’s deep vibrations produce a truly beautiful sound that captures the spirit of the Andean people in a timeless harmony.The longest pipe measures an inside length of 17 inches with an inside diameter of 1/2 an inch.
