Because there are 12 notes in a chromatic scale or a full octave, every half-step in a chromatic scale is multiplied by the 12th root of 2 to get the note next to it. Every time the pitch goes up one octave, the frequency doubles. Īccording to the Fundamental Principle for pan flutes, the frequency and the length of the tube are inversely proportional. An overblown harmonic register is near a 12th above the fundamental in cylindrical tubes, but can approach an octave jump (8th) if a decreasing taper is used. The length of the tube determines the fundamental frequency. Sound is produced by the vibration of an air-stream blowing across an open hole at the end of a resonating tube. Corks and rubber stoppers are also used, and are easier to quickly tune pipes. Special tools are used to place or remove the wax. Contemporary makers of curved Romanian-style panpipes use wax (commonly beeswax) to tune new instruments. In the traditional South American style, pipes are fine-tuned to correct pitch by placing small pebbles or dry corn kernels into the bottom of the pipes. The pan flute's tubes are stopped at one end, at which the standing wave is reflected giving a note an octave lower than that produced by an open pipe of equal length. The Romans adopted the Syrinx from the Greeks and the Etruscans, and they too played it at their banquets, festivals, as well as in religious and funeral processions. The Syrinx, a predominantly pastoral instrument for the Greeks, was adopted by the Etruscans who played it at their festivals and banquets the Etruscans called it fistula. Ancient Greeks called this instrument Syrinx, in honour of the Muse, and Pandean, or Pan-pipes and Pan-flute, after Pan. Then, Pan cut several reeds, placed them in parallel one next to the other, and bound them together to make a melodic musical instrument. In her attempt to escape the affection of god Pan (a creature half goat and half man), she was transformed into a water-reed or calamos (cane-reed). In Greek mythology, Syrinx (Σύριγξ) was a forest Nymph. The pan flute has become widely associated with the character Peter Pan created by Sir James Matthew Barrie, whose name was inspired by the god Pan.
