panpipes
Blown tube array
Panpipes are a wind instrument made of graduated tubes bound together, played by blowing across their open tops.
Each tube produces a different pitch based on its length.
The instrument appears across many cultures, from ancient Greece (where myth attributes it to the god Pan) to the Andes.
Also called a pan flute.
