I want to play the panpipes

[badlad.biz]

Someone gave me a set of panpipes for my birthday. I wonder if anyone knows of a book/cd/video etc on learning to play them?
Thanks in advance.

Don't you just blow them like the top of a bottle to make a noise?

I agree with Squarebear. I think it's just trial, error and loads of practice Badlad. You have to have some degree of musical talent too of course.

Well thats the problem! When I make a noise with them it sounds ok to me, but everyone tells me to shut up and throw them away, but my girlfriend gave them to me and I'm eager to please. I assume each pipe has a certain note and each tube has to be blown in a certain order. Its that order I seem to lack. Maybe I should practice at the bottom of the garden.

sounds like a trip to Peru is in order. Or any English town centre on a Saturday afternoon.
