About this Ramos Toyo Zampoña

The Toyo is the largest instrument in the Andean siku (zampoña) family, known for its deep, powerful bass register. This model by RAMOS features united pipes — the largest tubes are constructed from two joined bamboo sections — allowing for greater length and lower pitch while maintaining structural integrity. A staple of traditional Andean folk music, the Toyo has been played since pre-Columbian times across the altiplano.
