Mia Jewel Shop Handmade Peruvian Natural Wooden Bamboo Pan Flute Pipe with Multicolored Tribal Print Woven Cotton Strap Woodwind Musical Instrument (Small)

Quite a few reviews claim that these are ornamental and not instruments. Ignore those reviews as it seems to me that they were written by people who simply did not know how they were to be played. For example, one person took a picture of the closed ends of the pipes and said that she nearly blew her brains out trying to blow them open. I give her kudos for her attempt, but that's totally the wrong way to play a panpipe. These are not recorders. You don't blow through the pipe. Instead, you blow over the opening. Think of filling up coke bottles with various amounts of liquid. Then, blow across the openings to get your notes. When I first got it, I couldn't get a sound. I handed it to my husband, who immediately got it going. I realized by watching him that I needed to angle my lips just right and blow at just the right speed (not too soft, but not too hard either). I never did learn to whistle, so perhaps that's why I didn't instinctively figure it out like my husband. In any case, I played through each note, checking for accuracy in the pitch. All sounded right at labeled. (Pitches are labeled with solfege. Note that what is commonly called 'ti' here in the US is called 'si' over there.)

My daughter loved it for her bday.

I am very shocked and disappointed at what you had the nerve to send me. I was so looking forward to play this instrument one end you blow into the opening is clear - the other end where to noise is to come out is plugged with some kind of hard stuff so sounds would be able to come out -- Why you ever send something like this out to a a customer

Sounded good and functioned well for the price. The quality of the product is alright, but I wish I would have bought a slightly more expensive one to hopefully get a little better quality.

Came cracked. Appears to be flimsy. The pipes move easily. Wanted this to work :(
