Instrumental music is highly regarded among the Yaqui, a favorite 

 instrument being a short harp of native manufacture, which is played 

 in an almost horizontal position, its base resting on a box in front 

 of the seated player.

Among the musicians at the observance of Good Friday was Manuel 

 Ayala who played the drum and the flageolet at the same time, each 

 having its own rhythm (fig. 145). This flageolet had only two sound 

 holes, and was made in two sections which could be taken apart.
