The siku is an Andean pan flute This pan flute from the Solomon Islands is made from bamboo bound with reeds and rope. A pan flute (also known as panpipes or syrinx) is a musical instrument based on the principle of the closed tube, consisting of multiple pipes of gradually increasing length (and occasionally girth).

The siku is originally from the Aymaras of Peru and Bolivia, where a woman would play her siku as she came down from the mountains.Since the largest siku has every note (A-G), 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.
