Let’s play a Pan flute

In Greek mythology, the god Pan was a creature half goat and half man. He fell in love with a nymph called Syrinx and began to chase her.  She asked the gods for help  and the gods turned her into a water reed
Then, Pan cut several reeds, placed them in parallel one next to the other, and bound them together to make a melodic musical instrument. Ancient Greeks called this instrument Syrinx, in honour of the nymph, or  Pan-flute, after Pan.

You need:

  • White or coloured straws;
  • Scissors;
  • Adhesive tape;
  • Twine.

Take at least 5 straws. Place them in parallel one next to the other.
Cut the straws so that their length  gradually increases.
Keep them fixed by adhesive tape.
Decorate the adhesive tape by coloured twine.

We don’t guarantee the quality of the sound
