The Foxhunter on a Peruvian Whistle

Description: 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.

Leiouekairna ::: Favorites 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) 07-06-04 00:53:54 _____________________________________________________
mwowm23 ::: Favorites 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? 07-07-03 17:54:05 _____________________________________________________
cristian9correa ::: Favorites wind instruements can never be out of tune...the woods messed up or its not that.. 07-08-04 11:14:36 _____________________________________________________
Leiouekairna ::: Favorites 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. 07-08-05 14:44:39 _____________________________________________________
