The horns are used in building "call instruments" as pututus the wajra the erkencho the chapaca cane (similar to erke Argentine or horn), the rundown Bolivian and Ecuadorian horn. The trutruka the lolkiñ and kullkull the Mapuche of southern Chile and Argentina also are in this category, along with instruments such as Amazon wakar'hanti of Chiriguano. All these natural trumpets are newts, and emit a guttural sound very harmonious.
hooves (goat or young llamas) have been used in the manufacture of Chajchir , idiophone building a modern and very unique sound. For its part, the bone has been used for flutes and whistles from various walks of across the continent.
In this work we have implemented:
- Pututu . Prehispanic instrument tones, with different ways according to the geographic area where you are. It is a natural horn or trumpet that was made-as-archaeological record in clay, metal or squash and that after the arrival of Europeans (who brought cattle to the continent) began to be made in horn vaccine. Currently pututus are built with a single horn with the nozzle cut (blowing directly on it), or a side hole, or one or more horns crimped to a rod through. Anyway, are used as callers, especially in the beginning, end and change of speed and pace of troop large of Andean wind instruments.
- Erke or horn. Instrument with many variations along the Andean region. What makes up a huge body of bamboo (or plastic or metal tube, at present) for 2-3 mts. long to which is attached to it a pumpkin flag, leather, horn, plastic or metal. Through an opening (which, in the traditional erke is lateral) and using the technique of the trumpet, the three sounds are extracted from the full scale plus some additional harmonics. It is used in processions, as an instrument of call or as an accompaniment private dances, and in geographical scope northwestern Argentina and southern Bolivia (Tarija department).
- Chajchir . Sonajero made from a bunch of dried goat hooves or flame. While employed in other parts of South America in pre-Hispanic Andean traditional contexts such rattles were unknown. Until modern times entered by Bolivian composer and musician Mauro Nunez, and since then widely adopted by contemporary musicians.
