<DIV>Hi Idoia, Marta</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes - I was talking about this instrument earlier this year (see copy
below), because I saw it used here in a production of Beowulf. </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Check out this man demo'ing how to play - excellent -- though likely to be
a bit hard on your zoo specimens!</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>I was aware of the S Amer use, but not really about the African
connection...
<DIV>Wiki site says this is an Afro-Peruvian instrument.</DIV>
<DIV>Ref from Wiki article has some more excellent recordings/info: <A

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I haven't found anything which actually suggests its an African instrument
- rather one developed by African descent peoples in S American - which is what
is implied on the soundsandcolours site. It's interesting to speculate if other
peoples developed the jaw as an instrument too. I haven't heard anything about
such a thing in Mongolia or Irkutia, let alone European archaeological pieces...
I would love to know if there is any such indications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A wear analysis of the teeth of a Quijada would be quite interesting! If I
can get a hold of some examples, would anyone be interested in doing an analysis
with me?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>best</DIV>

<DIV>I was first alerted to the possibilities for horse skeleton instruments by
a production of Beowulf which featured a S. American percussion instrument using
a donkey's mandible...</DIV>
