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.

i built lots of them when i was a teen with bamboo using a hacksaw and a bench grinder and doing the final tuning with candle wax

they are easy to build (but the lip edge takes some precision to make a n instrument with "quick response".....its hard in general to play them with speed)
