The pan flute, also called Antara (in Quechua), Siku (in Aymara) or Zampoña (in Spanish), is a traditional Andean panpipe. It is a wind instrument consisting of cane pipes of different lengths tied in a row or in a bundle, held together by wax or cord; and generally closed at the bottom.

 

It is typically made of bamboo shoots, but has also been made of Condor feathers, bone, and many other materials.

 

The pan flute is played by blowing horizontally across the open end against the sharp inner edge of the pipes.

 

The pan flute has long been popular as a folk instrument, and is considered the first mouth organ.
