Pan flute
The pan flute (also known as panpipes) is an ancient
musical instrument based on the principle of the stopped pipe, consisting usually of ten or more pipes of gradually increasing length (and, at times, girth). The pan flute has long been popular as a folk instrument, and is considered the ancestor of both the
pipe organ and the
harmonica. The pan flute is named for its association with the rustic Greek god
Pan. The pipes of the pan flute are typically made from
bamboo or giant reed (
Arundo donax); other materials used include wood, plastic, and metal.
