Product Description The Percussion Plus Peruvian pan pipes contains 13 pipes of varying length secured with an attractive woven band. This single row style of pan pipes is known as an 'Antara' and is tuned diatonically. The wooden pan pipes are played by blowing horizontally across the top of the instrument to create a flute like sound and are extremely popular in folk music, particularly from southern America and central Europe. Every single one of these pan pipes are handmade by an independent maker, using traditional methods and techniques. The cane used is sustainably sourced and creates a brilliant sounding instrument. The pipes are bound together with vibrant and colourful rainbow band that, although simply put together, is rather striking and effective. Blow across the top of each tube to create a sound, using a similar technique that you would for a flute. Although the technique used and sound created can be likened to a flute, the breathy quality and easy to learn nature of the instrument make it perfect for all types of folk music.
