Hola Gwilym and taborers
The Mexican 3-holed tabor pipe is called "flauta de carrizo de tres hoyos", is a short instrument used mainly for the indigenous people, that began to play it from cXVI, after the Spanish "conquest": a mexican folklorist sent me a message and he think that the Jesús Company missions developed the use of p&t (and many other European instruments) between the Indigenous people because they had a natural facility playing and singing European music. Nowadays the indigenous people and their folklore are marginal in mexican society.
Obviously, this is an example of pro-hispanic teories about origin of p&t in Hispanoamerica, perhaps there are other non-hispanic teories...
A link about these pipes (with 3 or more holes): http://www.es-aqui.com/payno/colabora/f_carrizo.htm Is wrote by Pancho Camacho, from Mexico. If you can write Spanish, you could write Pancho, his e-mail is in that article and he can inform to you.
