The Wayunki has 4 distinct musical elements that can be explored, combined and interchanged to bring different experiences of the sound.

  • MELODIC PERCUSSION - melodic tongues arranged in a cylinder shape and played with a mallet, similar to a tongue drum, and you can also play notes then wave the Wayunki in the air to create a cool effect
  • WAH-WAH  - mouthpiece on one end of the Wayunki that allows you to create a wah wah sound with your mouth with the notes you play to modulate the sound
  • AMBIENT CHIMES  - special attachment to suspend the Wayunki on a string from the top with a piece inside hitting the notes from the inside to create a lovely sound similar to a wind chime  
  • SWINGING BELL - with chime attachment on you can create a randomized sustained bell sound by swinging the Wayunki in a wider circle with greater speed

The Story of Wayunki

While immersed in a Bufo ceremony in 2018, the maker had undescribable sound sensations in a powerful  ceremonh. During the application, our guide and facilitator Yann used a tibetan singing bowl and an instrument called Wauwau tube. Each of the instruments was placed next to one of my ears and the adventure was fascinating. Since then, a vision was planted in me – a vision to create such an instrument. And after some time, it happened. Just from the original sound and instrument I met during the ceremony a new instrument was born – one that evoked the original one just remotely.

Why “Wayunki”?

From the first prototype of Wayunki, I knew that the name of the instrument would sound like this… Or I could say that the instrument already knew what it was called… My job was just to put the letters and syllables together to make it fit exactly. The process took me about 10 minutes. The word Wayunki can also express the phonetic transcription of the sound wayuwayuwayu, where the “ki” can resemble the initial strike of a stick – ki 🙂
