.... i havn't heard of that instrument... and believe me i've seen a wide number of andine instuments since i've been living in Bolivia... havn't heard this one. the closest instrument to a whistle it's the "pinquillo" but the sound isn't as good as this one.

I think it sounds great, you played it very nicely.

[chansherly212]

i've read that the whistle has been used for thousands of years in order to ease meditation and reach altered states of conscioussness via theta brain waves. keep playing man! Glad to see no jerks have posted comments.

[Vfescue]

love the tone of that whistle/flute. And nice figuring; not too much, but enough to make it sound lively, and not "rote."

[scottishkid92]

well done that sunded amazing keep it up

[mwowm23]

i've been to Cuzco and played those same type flutes ... they are VERY sensitive and difficult to master. You've done a great job! The Andean music was nice, huh?

[Leiouekairna]

Do you know if that whistle has a name? I bought some sort of wooden whistle/flute from Peru when I was in San Antonio last year. It doesn't sound much like this and has a strange fingering or is out of tune (it was $5, it's likely to have problems)

[cristian9correa]

wind instruements can never be out of tune...the woods messed up or its not that..

[Leiouekairna]

Sorry to say but, yes, they can. Mine was probably made so cheaply that it's off-key. I've noticed a tiny hole or two in it so that's probably why.

[AliMoni2007]

The only andean instrument I know which sounds like that is the "quena" /kena/, unless this one is another one I don't know.

What calls my attention is that Ryan didn't post the original name, since he lived there for 5 weeks *sigh* . It's good to spread information about other cultures esp. to people who many think that theirs is the bellybottom of the world.

[GreatFezzo]

Bravo sir. A lively rendition. first time I heard this it was stuck in my head all day (probably seen this video sixty times.)

[StarvingArtist]

And played with an Irish flair. This has really made me want to bust out my old tinwhistles.

[kevo32a]

what key is it in? its not d and doesnt seem to math my other whistles.

[RyanDunsSJ]

I suspect it's in A.

[kevo32a]

well with the relative size, that would make sense. very nice. keep it up.

[ale9z]

it sounds like its in A# (or Hb), similar to indian flute

[ohicho]

Sound's great ryan do you play the Quena also ?

[TheWhistleCollector]

very nice.

[Heath75032]

Jesuit, eh? Talk about a niche market!

[heinouskyle]

Where can I get one of those?

[redindygo]

C-O-O-L!

[Lwuun]

I really like the soft sound of it!

[kpmull]

I really like the low tone of the Peruvian Flute.  What kind of wood is it? Here is a novice question, What key is it in? If I guessed "low D" Would that be correct? ?

[chade2112]

No doubt! I'm envious. :)

[chade2112]

I have to ask... how much did it run you?

[RyanDunsSJ]

Maybe $50.00 American - not a whole lot (compared to what people pay for whistles) but a lot for a guy vowed to poverty!

[Rickupinoft]

Sounds good to me Ryan. Nice to have travelled to, Peru (a country I don't think I'll ever get to). Look forward to more of your videos. God bless.
