CHAPAREKE
Did stringed instruments exist in ancient Mexico?
Robert Murrell Stevenson, cites Charles L. Boiles work (1932 - 1984)
Boiles cites 14 native language dictionaries with a definition for "string instruments"
which were published in Mexico.
(see page 23) of Music in Aztec and Inca Territory (2)
(Unfortunately he does not specify which indigenous dictionaries these appear in)
Is it possible that such an instrument existed and we have yet to find a record?
We have to remember that even though images have not been found in the Codices that we can still investigate murals, pottery and sculptures and new discoveries continue daily.
