Traditionally, the sound of the flute has been associated with Pan, the Greek figure who played the reed flute. The mythology related to Pan and his flute bring one into a pastoral fantasy identity with flute music. The legends pertaining to the ëpied piperí also lend themselves to the fluteís magical and hypnotic qualities.
