Figure 28. Above: sonogram (spectrogram); below: waveform of the sound emitted by direct insufflation into the original double chamber whistle vessel (analysis tascam_0032). Made by A. Arnaud Gérard at AcústicaStudioLab of Potosí/Bolivia, 2018.
Figure 29. Oscillogram (below) of the final part (4) of the sound of the original bottle; top: a dilated sonagram in which the frequency of the first partial predominates. Made by A. Arnaud Gérard in AcústicaStudioLab de Potosí/Bolivia, 2018.
Figure 30. Above: sonagram (spectrogram); below: waveform of the sound emitted by water movement in the replica of the double ellipsoid ornithomorphic whistle bottle. On the left you can see a representation of the sound made by the clicks of the water and on the right the whistle that bears some similarity to the sound of the original vessel (analysis tascam_0079). Made by A. Arnaud Gérard in AcústicaStudioLab de Potosí/Bolivia, 2018.
