A general term for an aerophone instrument made of several tubes of different lengths bound together or arranged and fixed in the shape of a raft. The tubes are usually closed, but some are open. They are made from materials such as reed, bamboo, wood, clay, or metal, and the end that becomes the mouthpiece may be carved with a cut edge. Sound is produced by blowing into this end. Different pitches can be obtained by changing the tube that is blown into. This type of instrument can be found in various places, including the Chinese xiao, Europe, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and South America.

Japanese:

長さの異なる数本の管を束ねたり、あるいは筏(いかだ)形に並べて固定した気鳴楽器の総称。管は閉管のことが多いが、開管のものもある。材質は葦(あし)、竹、木、粘土、金属などで、吹口になるほうの端は細工して、エッジを切ってあることもある。この端の部分に息を吹き当てて音を出す。吹く管をかえることによって異なる音高を得る。この種の楽器は中国の簫(しょう)をはじめ、ヨーロッパ、東南アジア、オセアニア、南アメリカなど各地にある。なお、ヨーロッパ諸国語での名称は、ギリシア神話の半獣神パンの笛に由来している。
