Panpipes, 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, panpipes have been used in various cultures around the world, particularly in Andean music. The instrument is played by holding the tubes horizontally and blowing into them, creating a soft, melodic sound. Panpipes are often associated with folk music and are popular in Peru, Bolivia, and other regions where traditional music is celebrated. They are easy to learn, making them accessible for beginners.
