A flauta rociera, the three-hole pipe of Andalusia, believed to date from around the year 2000. The body is turned from wood, possibly mahogany, and fitted with a metal fipple. It is beautifully made, with a warm, woodsy tone and an expressive voice.

Like other pipes of its kind, it is played with one hand while the other works a tabor drum in the pipe-and-tabor manner. In its native southern Spain the flauta rociera, also called the gaita rociera, is bound up closely with the romería of El Rocío in Huelva and with the fandangos and sevillanas of Andalusian folk music.
