Traditional Pan Flute Instrument - History, Design & Musical Use #212957 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts a traditional pan flute, featuring ten graduated bamboo pipes bound tightly with a woven strap to maintain alignment. The instrument is labeled “MARTIN” on the leftmost pipe, suggesting a maker’s mark or brand. Pan flutes produce sound by blowing across the open tops of the pipes, each tuned to a specific pitch, enabling melodic playing without finger holes.
