This Andean flute is the best-known wind instrument in southern Andes and dates back to pre-Hispanic times, it is made out of a tube of cane, wood, bone or even plastic, with one end beveled into a mouthpiece.

The quena features five or six soundholes which produces a range of notes, depending on how the performer blows through the flute.

The Inca introduced this sweet-sounding flute intended to evoke a variety of emotions. The quena is an indispensable instrument in traditional bands, and songs from Andes Mountains (Bolivia and Peru).

This wind instrument belongs to the pan-pipe family, and is made up of a series of cane tubes of varying sizes bound together, forming one or two rows. The size of the tube determines the musical note.

The zampoña pan pipe comes in a wide range of variations, depending on the region, where the length, location and quantity of cane tubes vary. It is frequently played in nearly all the festivities in southern Andes.

Introduced by the Inca centuries ago, the zampoña panpipe still entertains with melodies filled with Andean spirit.
