Pan pipes, also known as pan flutes, are a musical instrument made up of multiple tubes of varying lengths. Each tube produces a different pitch when blown across the top. Traditionally made from materials like bamboo or reeds, they are often associated with folk music in various cultures around the world. The instrument is named after the Greek god Pan, who was said to play a similar type of flute. Pan pipes are commonly used in Andean music, where they are called siku or zampona. They are celebrated for their soothing, melodic sound and are often featured in both traditional and contemporary music.
