Women with (pan) pipes

[Hypoxia]

I play (badly) various pennywhistles etc; not panpipes. But I was researching panpipes and found this on Wikipedia (emphasis added):

The siku (panpipe) is originally from the Aymaras of Perú and Bolivia, where a woman would play her siku as she came down from the mountains. Since the largest siku... and was too big for the woman, they often got two sikus (usually smaller ones) that would be played together with someone else, so they could play them continuously after each other and thus the scales could fully be played. Once the women partnered, they then became musically bonded with each other, as part of their religion, and neither could play the pipes with any other for the rest of their life.

Women would also assemble into groups as they came down the mountains, each group would play different tunes, and as they got together, they would blend all the melodies together to create one complete melody. The woman also played the siku to attract wild goat that they would then harvest.​

The "lifetime" bonding and group blending could be sexual too, eh? And would only wild goats be attracted and harvested? How about wild men, or women?

Apparently you have never gone to a Kenny G concert. He does play a pan pipe/flute some, I enjoy that better than his sax, but I'm odd.

Seems odd but they changed the name from pipe to flute, it's the same thing. Oh don't look at me like that, I got a craving to listen to some and searched, ended up with plenty on pan flutes.

Correct. Whew! I'll admit to John Klemmer, though. For live pipes, I hang around Fisherman's Wharf in SanFran and groove on the Peruvian buskers.

Then there are redneck panpipes. Strap a bunch of beer bottles together, fill with enough water or whatever for tuning, and blow. I did that at the Red Dog Saloon but they threw me out. Philistines...

Read my story, A Lust For Life" it features Pan Pipes as a sexual lure like siren song. Editing is not perfect tho. It was one of my first stories on Lit

Got a link?

Yes, luring sexual prey is part of this plot bunny. (I have used music to instigate more than one relationship, and I turned down some offers yesterday. But I digress.) Exclusive bonding by music -- I had never before heard of that. It seems like an interesting dynamic to explore.

Wouldn't "Pan" the god, predate South American tribes? He is always portrayed as playing the pipe(s).

Not so much, think about it, the pipes are easy to do so have been around for thousands upon thousands of years. Pan the god isn't more than about 5 thousand years. Give or take a few thousand but still, the pipes are older.

Syrinx (Pan's pipes) and others such as quills, siku, pai xiao, wot, ney, et al evolved independently in remote locales. Blowing across an open tube ain't rocket science, toot toot. But let's take the plot bunny out of the Andes and into a post-modern subculture, a (suburban?) cult community with musical bonding-mating-hunting rituals. Follow the permutations and consequences.
