Question:-What are most instruments created in Paraguay made of?

Answer

Many of the so-called conventional music instruments developed in Paraguay are made from locally available sources. Of all the materials used, one popular material is the wood obtained from the palo santo tree due to the timber quality and resonance. Products like the Paraguayan Harp, guitars, and any stringed instrument normally use this wood, the palo santo wood. Furthermore, gourds are used widely in creating the body of the guará, which is a type of percussion instrument, while the skin of certain animals is used to make the angu’a pu, an indigenous flute. The use of these natural and locally available materials also plays part and parcel in the sound and qualities of Paraguayan instruments and more crucially the symbiotic relationship between the country’s music and its environment.
