Pan Flute

[Anne]

Anyone ever played one of these?? I used to play harmonica, and wonder if it's similar. Love this old hymn, too:

Never played one, but I well remember the advertising onslaught many years ago on TV for Zamfir.



Followed of course by his other Gold albums -

:rofl:

Ahhh; I remember those ads for Zamfir!!! I did like some of his music; none of the family agreed with me however....

Mmmmm, Pan flutes at short 5 second bursts are tolerable, but long term? Strictly music to slit wrists by. :ambivalence:

Beautiful music.  So calming
A very talented man. Thank you so much for sharing this


One of my favourites is The Lonely Shepherd by Romanian Gheorghe Zamfir
(With James Last)

Oh man I love the Pan pipes. The most hauntingly beautiful musical ever. It was used to great advantage in the soundtrack of Picnic At Hanging Rock and was also part of the score of Once Upon a Time In America, unless my memory fails me. Ha, like that is ever going to happen.

Oh Box Car Willie anyone..just remembering the ads for his stuff and Slim Witman.

 

[Rainee]

Thats just beautiful and as Old Hipster says the most hauntingly beautiful music ever... so soothing to the mind..
thanks for sharing.. its a keeper..

Picnic At Hanging Rock

 

[SifuPhil]

I just can't get over the visualization, whenever anyone mentions "pan flute", of Hercules' old chum Newt following me around tooting his flute and repeating everything he says twice ...

(Newt shows up around 1:15, for those in a hurry)
