- Antara. Pre-Hispanic instrument, widely used in Peru. It is a panflute consists of a series of pipes or tubes of different sizes.
- Panpipe. From the mountains of Peru, panpipes are a wind instrument first made by the Incas. In mountain passes high in the Andes, men thought that to echo the haunting sound of the whistling wind, would be to communicate directly with the Gods. The sound is made by blowing over the top of the pipes like a bottle.
- Conch shells. The sound is loud and dramatic, and has an eerie quality.
- The ocarina. Is an enclosed space with four to twelve finger holes and a mouthpiece that projects from the body. It is often ceramic, but other materials may also be used. The sound is created by resonance of the entire cavity and the placement of the holes on an ocarina is largely irrelevant – their size is the most important factor.
