The Siku Pan Pipes are a traditional Andean instrument from Peru and one of the larger styles of panpipes, featuring 13 notes for a bright, melodic sound. Handcrafted from sustainable natural bamboo, they are designed to be easy to play, making them ideal for beginner pan flutists and musicians. A woven cotton ribbon adds a decorative touch, and an attached string allows the instrument to be worn or hung around the neck for convenience when not in use. Combining cultural heritage with simple playability, each set features a brightly coloured unique woven band that adds to its handcrafted character.
