Xirimía
This xirimía comes from Panajachel on Lake Atitlan in south-west Guatemala. The mouthpiece of this double-reed instrument is made of plastic lamellas. The instrument has six frontal tone holes as well as one frontal and two lateral resonance holes, but no thumb hole. The xirimía is considered characteristic of folklore and is played in Guatemala, Mexico and Colombia, usually in ensembles accompanied by drums in public processions.
