Pan flute
Music for the panpipe can be purchased, but any sheet music for simple tunes works well, too. Syrinx was a nymph from Greek mythology, loved by the god, Pan.
In pursuing Syrinx, Pan forced her into a watery death and then grieved his loss through the mournful melody he played on his flute. That grief is conveyed in Debussy's famous piece, loved by flutists everywhere.
A lovely ethereal sound, isn't it? An amazing number of styles can be achieved, too...
The pan-style flute, like other folk flutes, is popularity for its ease of playing. You don't need to study for decades to express yourself musically. There is definitely something to be said for that.
