Wind instrument made from reeds or pipes bound together. The pipes/reeds were of differing lengths, to give differing sounds. When Sophia (the dungeoneer for Team 6 of Series 6) encountered Elita on Level 3 (see picture), the cavern elf had a set of Panpipes that she claimed had belonged to Pan (Greek mythology's god of the countryside) himself. When Skarkill was threatening Sophia, Elita played a tune on the pipes, causing Skarkill to dance involuntarily, out of the room and into a pit.

The 'original' Panpipes are present in The Sorcerer's Isle gamebook as well. If the player meets Pan and is found to be rurally-minded enough, he gives them his Panpipes, which can be used later to deal with a vampire attack.
