Wood toc toc instruments, 'My Companions' (pair) Musical Instruments Percussion Instruments 
Known as
toc toc for the sound that they make, these percussion
instruments are essential to any Peruvian musical ensemble. Their origin
can be traced as far back as pre-Hispanic times. Dionisio
Quilla carves the instrument from pumaquiro wood in the shape
of two hollow cylinders for double toc toc. One side
is longer than the other, resulting in contrasting beats when
struck with a stick. The single toc toc features a
low relief surface to enrich the sound. The playing sticks
are carved from capirona wood.
