English

A panpipe

Etymology

From Pan (“Greek god of nature”) +‎ pipe.

Noun

panpipe (plural panpipes)

  1. A set of panpipes
    • 1988 May 27, Neil Tesser, “Albert Mangelsdorff”, in Chicago Reader‎[1]:
      No matter that the trombone would seem to be an instrument particularly ill-suited to the purpose; in Mangelsdorff's hands, it might as well be anything from a panpipe to a cello.
