Pan Flutes

Postby dentyr » 20 Jan 2020 01:40

Has anyone noticed that most instruments have the bass part on the left and the treble part on the right. Keyboards, Harmonicas, Mouth organs etc. But the Pan Flute is played with the treble side on the left!.

Hi Den,

I have watched your video and have never noticed that before. Maybe he's left handed so has 'left handed' Pan Pipes? Even stranger, there doesn't seem to be a 'standard' for Pan Pipes, as in these two clips below they are definitely being played with the higher notes on the right and the lower notes on the left.

The House of the Rising Sun versión THE ANDES

Love this song, and this is a very good rendition of it!



Unchained Melody Pan flute and guitar version by Inka Gold



And here's one with the high notes on the left and the low notes on the right, like yours was.

Leo Rojas - Der einsame Hirte

This is another favourite of mine. Again, a superb recording! I know it by another name. Anyone know what this is called (in English)?



Maybe if I was left handed I could find myself a left handed keyboard, with high notes to the left and low notes to the right. And anyway, when they made the first piano, how did they decide which sides the high and low notes should be?

Have looked up Leo Rojas - Der einsame Hirte on Google and have discovered the 'English' title is Lonely Shepherd.

Have found a YouTube clip of Lonely Shepherd being played on a Pan Pipe, by Gheorghe Zamfir and the James Last Orchestra. Another brilliant recording. I am quite happy to listen to it again. Played on a Pan Pipe with the higher notes to the left and the lower ones to the right.

JAMES LAST with GHEORGHE ZAMFIR - The Lonely Shepherd/Alouette. Live in London 1978.
