I went to see Notre Dame (one amazing building - spent hours looking at all the figures carved in stone - how come no-one produces work like that anymore?) and there was a young guy with a Pan drum sitting on a wall in the open area in front of the cathedral just busking away. For a few bucks he showed me how to get some sounds out of it. Apparently the guy who originally made these no longer produces them. They do create a totally unique sound. Great fun to mess around with and perfect for ambient music as well. I bought a software version for inclusion in my projects but have not used it to date. Oh well one day! http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/21-exotic-percussion/g29-pan-drums/
