Hand MadeHuaco Silbador-Peruvian Whistling Vessel - Kestrel is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Recreation of a double-bodied whistling vessel with a bridge handle based on the Inca style. It has a reverberant chamber that emits a sustained FA note when filled halfway with water. Sculpted by ethnomusicologist Jose Vitancio Humeres of Peru, it is a replica of an original design. "I think the sounds these instruments make were to create positive energy," says Vitancio Humeres. Constructed of two chambers, as well as a system of air ducts and aqueducts, the vessel is filled partially with water, and when held and tipped, pushes the air outward to create melodic sounds, through one or more whistle holes. Exquisitely made in Peru.
The whistle on this piece works with a strong sound. A functional musical instrument and a brilliant piece of art. The Kestrel's colors and artistic details can vary.
