Peruvian Whistling Vessels 
Today
On April 27, 1972, Peruvian whistling vessels reawakened through a person named Daniel Stat, a prosperous east coast businessman. Daniel purchased a vessel at an estate auction because of its antiquity. He happened to blow through it in his study one day and the resulting experience changed his life.
Daniel's story can be read in Animated
Earth, Berkeley: North Atlantic Books, 1987.

After apprenticing Don Wright to make the vessels, he passed
on the molds, sacred clay, and vessel making tools to his apprentice.
Don continues to produce the vessels today.
The vessels recently experienced a rapid evolution in their
effect and appearance. While writing an article
for New Frontier Magazine, Don suddenly began to have profound insights into
how the vessels should be altered in their tuning and construction.
He realized that his previous method of precision constructing and tuning the
vessels had frozen them into the evolutionary level
of one of the last cultures (Chimu) to make them. The new insights enabled him
to allow the vessels to once again freely evolve to be in harmony with the present.
His new approach to producing the vessels involves tuning them
while in a self-induced synesthesia perceiving state,
intuitive irregular incision of resonator apertures, and the use of copal and
frankincense, sacred resins of Peru and Arabia.
This evolution has resulted in the vessels producing a deeply profound subjective
as well as objective experience
as opposed to a predominately objective experience. The time of the onset of
the expanded/altered state has changed
from around 30 minutes to only 2 or 3 minutes. The experience is much more entheogenic
in nature. It now appears to be
accumulative in that a person becomes more sensitive and responsive to the effect.
The experience now seems to also
have residual effects of sensitizing a persons perception of colors, sounds
(music), and the emotional states of others.
Information more recent than the New Frontiers article can be found in an interview
conducted by Richard Rogers, Editor, DEI, New Age Info Net
