pan flute
Breath-powered pipe row
A pan flute is a wind instrument made of tubes of graduated lengths bound together in a row.
The player blows across the open tops to produce notes, with shorter tubes sounding higher pitches.
Associated with Greek mythology's god Pan and with Andean music: the haunting sound of a pan flute.
