These pan pipes (sometimes written as panpipes) are hand made in Peru. They are a traditional Peruvian instrument associated with music from the Andes. Each set of pan pipes consists of a number of hollow tubes closed at the bottom and open at the top.

The tubes in panpipes have been carefully cut and shaped to tune them. Longer tubes give deeper notes and shorter ones higher pitched notes. The pan pipes are played by blowing across the top of the tubes producing a gentle flute like sound.

Zampona Pan Pipes

Zampona Pan Pipes have two rows of pipes with one row one set behind the other. In the top photo the two darker sets of pan pipes are of the zampona design. The centre photo also shows zampona panpipes. They each have a row of six tubes with a row of seven tubes behind. The lines of pipes are straight, not curved like antara pipes. This makes the zampona design very compact.

Antara Pan Pipes

Antara Pan Pipes have a single row of pipes. The small light coloured panpipes in the top picture and the pipes in the bottom picture are antara pan pipes. Apart from the light coloured pan pipes in the top picture, antara pan pipes are made with the tubes bound together in a curved shape to make them more convenient to play.
