The Foxhunter on a Peruvian Whistle

One of the coolest things about being a Jesuit is that we have the opportunity to travel all over the world. This summer I spent five weeks living in Peru - it is there that I acquired this flute. It's actually pretty hard to play, so the less-than-crisp style of playing is hopeful understandable. I bought it in the city of Cuzco and it was hand-made just for me! If nothing else, it is very pretty to look at. You can read about my adventures in Peru (June and July in the archives) at: www.ryandunssj.blogspot.com

[RyanDunsSJ]

I suspect it's in A.

[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!

.... 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.
