Abstract
The musical instruments are present in all of mankind’s history, and these have been built employing artisanal techniques gained by experience; these techniques are transmitted through generations of the instruments’ constructors. The inexistence of a formal method for the construction has the consequence that two similar instruments play different timbers and have contrasts in their acoustical characteristics. This fact has major relevance in the case of wind instruments because it is impossible to modify their structure. This paper presents the acoustical analysis of two different musical instruments from South-America, Quenas and Zampoñas, with emphasis in the musical scale, the techniques of construction, and the physical models for these instruments.
