Panpipes
Panpipes are musical instruments made of multiple hollow tubes of varying lengths, typically arranged in a row. Each tube produces a different note when blown across its opening, functioning like a series of small, individual flutes. The length of each tube determines the pitch: longer tubes produce lower sounds, shorter tubes produce higher sounds. To play, the musician blows across the tops of the tubes or opens and closes them with fingers to change the notes. Panpipes are often associated with traditional music in regions like South America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe.
