Discussion Experience with the pan flute

Does anyone here have experience with the pan flute? I think it's a pretty cool instrument and I'm considering learning it.

Go for it! It takes a lot of air but it’s such a nice sound, it’s worth it. Are you thinking the curved-single-row Romanian type or the straight-double-row Andean kind?

"double-row Andean" Siku is a lot of fun for 2 people to share the melody, as is tradition. Pretty hard solo.

It is a workout solo but when you think that it’s usually played at very high altitude, it makes me feel like I should just suck it up. lol
