The pan pipe, also known as the pan flute or zampona is probably one of the most well known traditional musical instruments of the Andes.

Played by the indigenous Andean tribes people for countless generations, these beautiful instruments come in many shapes and sizes and vary in name depending on the particular regions they come from.

Known by the Quechua tribes as the antara, by the Aymara as the the siku or zampolla, and more commonly referred to as the Spanish zampona, these handmade Bolivian panpipes are the genuine article and produce a beautiful sound reminiscent of their ancestral heritage and worthy of concert performance.

As with all the instruments here on Original Artisan, the zamponas you see here are professional instruments and should not be confused with cheaper tourist grade pan pipes sold in Peruvian markets and other internet trinket sites.

Traditionally crafted in Bolivia by Mamani, our most highly regarded luthier who also makes many of the flutes here on Original Artisan, these pan flutes come with a handmade deluxe zampona case to protect the instrument from changes in temperature and humidity.

There are 4 kinds of zampona, each tuned 1/8 of an octave higher than it’s sibling. The lowest known as the Toyos, then the Zankas, the Maltas and the highest being the Chulis.

Chromatic Tuning

These particular pan pipes are of the Malta type and are comprised of 24 bamboo tubes of varying lengths, fashioned in 3 rows of 9, 8 and 7 pipes.

The first two rows producing notes of of Sol Major (G) and it’s relative Mi minor (Em), and the third row producing the chromatic intervals. It’s deep vibrations produce a truly beautiful sound that captures the spirit of the Andean people in a timeless harmony.

The longest pipe measures an inside length of 13 inches with an inside diameter of 1/2 an inch.

Deluxe Zampona Case

The deluxe cases included with these panpipes are of a better quality and are much thicker than the usual cases supplied with most pan flutes. They usually come in two colours, red or blue. Please use the text box below to state your chosen colour when purchasing this instrument or feel free to contact me via email or using this site’s contact page.

Due to the fact that I only have a limited stock, pan pipe cases will be shipped on a first come first served basis. I always endeavour to send your chosen colour but if your choice is unavailable then the alternative will be provided.

Please note : This purchase is for one pan pipe and one case.

Concert Tweaked Expert Bamboo Quena

All the flutes for sale on Original Artisan are professional instruments and operate at a high standard and these Walata flutes are no exception.

These have also been specifically ‘tweaked’ by the producers to ensure they are exceptional instruments and perform to the highest possible standard.

These Walata bamboo quena flutes are thicker, more rustic and slightly harder to play than other types of bamboo quena, designed for the hands of a more experienced quena player, this Walata flute produces a much more solid, sweeter sound than many of it’s rivals.

Utilising skill and technique from a more experienced level to achieve new heights of play, the advanced flutist will gain a greater sense of pleasure from playing this flute than other more easily mastered flutes.

These bamboo quenas are unvarnished and have a beautifully rugged, rustic type look and a real sense of beauty about them, unlike any of my other more traditional looking flutes.

These were created by a professional Bolivian luthier, centered in the heart of  La Paz who is also a highly skilled musician. Like most of our other artisans, this luthier has been making instruments and performing concerts across South America for many years.

As with the charangos and all other instruments sold on this site, these flutes are of exceptional quality and should not be confused with other South American souvenir type tourist flutes of substandard quality.

The professional concert quenachos you see here are exceptional instruments made from South American bamboo.

Concert Tweaked Expert Bamboo Quenacho

All the flutes for sale on Original Artisan are professional instruments and operate at a high standard and these Walata flutes are no exception.

These have also been specifically ‘tweaked’ by the producers to ensure they are exceptional instruments and perform to the highest possible standard.

These Walata bamboo quenacho flutes are thicker, more rustic and slightly harder to play than other types of bamboo quenacho, designed for the hands of a more experienced quenacho player, this Walata flute produces a much more solid, sweeter sound than many of it’s rivals.

Utilising skill and technique from a more experienced level to achieve new heights of play, the advanced flutist will gain a greater sense of pleasure from playing this flute than other more easily mastered flutes.

These bamboo quenachos are unvarnished and have a beautifully rugged, rustic type look and a real sense of beauty about them, unlike any of my other more traditional looking flutes.

These were created by a professional Bolivian luthier, centered in the heart of  La Paz who is also a highly skilled musician. Like most of our other artisans, this luthier has been making instruments and performing concerts across South America for many years.

As with the charangos and all other instruments sold on this site, these flutes are of exceptional quality and should not be confused with other South American souvenir type tourist flutes of substandard quality. Such instruments are manufactured on mass with no attention to sound quality and tuning.

These quenacho flutes are precision concert tuned to the scale of Sol Major (G) / Mi minor (Em) and have been ‘tweaked’ for optimum performance.

Measuring 14.75 inches long and 1 inch wide, these really are beautiful instruments, each having their own individual characteristics.

Note : The images you see here were taken using a number of bamboo Walata concert quenachos in order to show off the slight differences in colour, grain and dressing between each of these handmade flutes.

The flute you receive will be of exactly the same nature, each varying slightly in appearance due to the natural characteristics of the woods used.
