What is my source of info you ask? It is very reliable, and the author is well known for accurate mythological history.

It is a book by DJ Conway, called 'Maiden, Mother, Crone'. Anyone interested in mythology should read it. Maybe QUIX4U should as well - he might get an education and learn how inaccurate the internet can be

[celticbattleaxe]

It seems as though QUIX4U believes that wikipedia is a great source of valid info - not so in this case. What he was saying is an inaccurate male chauvanistic version of the truth, like Kore Persephone and Hades. In the old legends, she intentionally went to the Underworld to comfort the dead, and she was not "raped" by Hades - that is not true. That is just a later male chauvanistic version.

@celticbattleaxe The Panpipe and Pan-flute are the same instruments, just called by different names

[celticbattleaxe]

This is, however, a really great performance. The flute is not a Pan-flute or Panpipe (really the same, but called by many different names) - it is a pentatonic recorder-like flute. You can check it out at 'woodsounds(dot)com' for more info.

By pentatonic, i am referring to a 5 note major scale, such as G A B D E. This is the oldest instruments were pentatonic, and you really cannot play a wrong note on it - it sounds good, as Brad White explains on his 'How to play the Pan-Flute' video.

Disregard QUIX4U - he doesn't know ass from elbow. The Pan-flut or Panpipe is named after the Greek god of agriculture and wildlife, Pan. One day, he fell in love with the nymph Syrinx, but she did not want to unite with him. After Pan chased her to a lake, she prayed to the sylphs to shape-shift her into reeds. They did, but Pan, feeling heartbroken, took up the reeds and made them into a Pan-flute in her honor.

A Pan-flute or Panpipe has tubes connected to each other - this is not a Pan-flute

[QUIX4U]

The word "PAN" - refers to the greek god PAN whom feel for the alluring beauty of the water nymph SRYINX ... alas - the big galoot had his merry way with her & she drowned... Forever after - he was heard trying to BLOW across the reeds to "remake" the sounds of her tunes... (wikipedia that - if You'r realy thick- & don't KNOW what PAN & SYRINX relate too)

[QUIX4U]

? Where's the PAN PIPES?

(All I seen was the injun on the RHS ? playing on a ? LONG FLUTE)

Pan Pipes ... are a collection of old hollow reeds (or tubes) .. & are played...

in the method which has one BLOWING wind across the top of their upper openings?

(The injun here ... was just using what is called a PLAIN "wind_instrument" - such as a basic recorder)
