The Aztec word Huilacapitzli refers to bird whistles and ocarinas used in ancient Mexico. Guillermo's whistles are hand fired for 12 hours, then hand painted with Aztec designs using colored clays and burnished with a smooth stone to give them a velvety feel. They are perfectly tuned using a special diamond tool and are capable of precise clear musical tones. Offering a wonderful accompaniment to the flute, great for flute gatherings and talking to our feathered friends.
All whistles come with neck carrying strap, and have a full set of how play instructions.
This is Guillermo's favorite and most dramatic whistle used on his recordings and during live performances. This instrument has four differently tuned chambers, which allow you to play single or multiples. Combine two, three or even four for a wonderful harmonic effect. The holes at the end of each tube can be covered to achieve a whole different sound. The realism of the bird tones generated is remarkable.
