About Pan Flutes

The origins of the pan flute in the Americas predates both the Inca and Maya civilizations. The pipes are attached to a cross-beam and tied with rope or vegetable material. The longest pipes are on the right side (seen from the player's point of view) and can be up to 80 centimeters long (32 inches). Traditionally, women were not allowed to play these instruments.
