The Ecuadorian Panpipe dates back at least 2000 years.  Made of varying lengths of cane or bamboo tied together in a row-it is called rondador, after the night watchmen who played the instrument on their rounds.
 

Many South American families still practice the entire traditional wool-making process, which includes:hand-cutting, washing, carding, dying, and weaving which can take several days.
