Panpipes

Panpipes go by other names as well: Bolivian or Peruvian flutes or pipes, as well as zamponias. Another name for the instrument is "syrinx." Panpipes consist of hollow tubes sealed at one end and fastened together. "Pan" refers to the Greek demi-god who was half goat and half man. The instrument is common to Greece, as well as Peru, Bolivia, Romania, Hungary, some African countries and even China. Here I am, playing a set of panpipes I bought from an ebay seller. Of the three such instruments I purchased, this one remains my favorite because it is easiest for me to play.

Now here's a set of panpipes I made from scratch, using a couple of tiki torches, cardboard and tape. I was glad to get sounds from this makeshift instrument.
