Make Flute Out Bamboo
What is this instrument called?
this instrument is easy to make out. Its sounds like a flute but instead of playing it on the side, you play it by holding it with both hands. You blow on the holes and a different note comes out, obviously. It has different lengths. It starts out small and gets bigger. it looks like yellow bamboo sticks and they all have small square holes where i think the sound comes out. It comes in different sizes to where there are some that the long parts goes REALLY long. So, the yellow bamboo sticks are stuck together and forms an instrument that starts out small and at the end is a bigger stick. I know my description is confusing, but describing it is hard for an instrument u dont know.
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, or mouth organ. 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.
Another term for the pan flute is syrinx, from Greek mythology, the story of Pan. The plural of syrinx is syringes, from which the modern word syringe is derived. (Pan pipes is both singular and plural.) Other names for the instrument include the Latin fistula panis.
