The flauta de émbolo is a tubular wind instrument made of clay, with no finger holes. Instead, it contains a clay ball inside that prevents air from passing beyond its position in the tube. However, when the internal ball rolls and is placed at the far end, it modulates the sound, allowing for glissandos and chromatic tones that are uncommon in indigenous aerophones. Pre-Columbian flautas de émbolo were found in northern Mesoamerica, but today, reproductions are made in Costa Rica as an alternative to modern flutes that feature a mechanism to change the sound.
