I am getting more and more prepared to finally visit Chavín. I already
saw some overwhelming museum collections at Museo Larco, Museo Nacional
de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Peru and Museo Amano which
had some later Moche pututus on display. It was exciting to find out
that e.g. the Moches used not only pututus for sound production but
aswell a sort of two-necked pottery. When filled with some water the
tones could be pitched by tilting the pots. It feels so close to my
singing through teapots, that i had to take care not to let the pots
slip through my hands, when i learned about that detail. Now: still
curious to provoke some resonance in honky Lima…
