Chirimía

Contact the institution

The body of this chirimía widens gently towards the tip, the suggestion of a funnel is purely decorative. A pirouette in the shape of the end of a spool of thread is attached to a pipe support that corresponds to around a third of the length of the body. The mouthpiece is made of palm leaf. The double-reed instrument has six frontal tone holes as well as one frontal and two lateral resonance holes, but no thumb hole.
