Spent a while sitting on my sofa playing this wonderful #instrument. I really like my innato that I've talked about a few times here, but this huaca, another triple-chambered #ocarina, and although more difficult to play has a very soothing sound too. The sound ports on top give you a very 3D in-your-face sonic experience. #Flute
Most huacas (Quechua for “sanctuary”), like this one, are based on the work of Sharon Rowell during the 80s, and aren't "traditional". The name was given later.
The huaca sitting on my coffee table. Its three globular chambers, two equally-size ones at the front and a larger at the back are connected at a top via the Y-shaped configuration of air ducts radiating out from the mouthpiece. The chambers are also connected to each other by horizontal extensions at their widest part, and highlighting their triangular configuration. The mouthpiece has two slits; the front one for the two melody chambers and the back for the drone. The front chambers both have 3 finger and 1 thumb holes, and the drone chamber has two palm holes; one for either hand. The chambers have flat bases, allowing you to support the entire flute on your pinkies. In short, it's quite a lot to keep track of. The flute is decorated with clay of various natural colours. Because the shape is rather abstract, when I've thrown this photo into AI it has resulted in hilarious descriptions of it somehow thinking it's a dog toy for dispensing treats, a stand of some kind, a massager, or a funny statue of a cow. All EPIC fails, but just too funny!

this is being sold as "a Japanese flute". seller doesn't know which. at first glance I thought it was a shinobue but... well, look at it.

anyone knows what type of instrument is this? it might not even be Japanese, but it looks too well-built to be a generic souvenir. can a music person tell me what are those four bottom holes in parallel?

#music #folkMusic #flute it's not a #shakuhachi but maybe shaku ppl know

A pretty flute, seemingly in bamboo with dark streaks (dunno if natural or susudake). It's quite long, and uniformly thin. From the top it has six holes, four in one node and the other two before and after it, all six close together but unevenly spaced.
Bottom side has what appears to be a common thumb hole at one end, and around the middle four more holes, distributed in a square pattern, two at a go.

Wikipedia says that the Balkan-Anatolian kaval has one thumb hole plus four unfingered "intonation holes", which would match this pattern.
