Rondador

The "rondador" is a set of chorded bamboo panpipes that produces two tones simultaneously. It consists of pieces of cane, placed side by side in order by size and closed at one end, and is played by blowing across the top of the instrument. The "rondador" is considered the national instrument of Ecuador.
