Instructions
This version has nine pipes, C D E F G A B C D. The nine pipes are sufficient to play many medieval songs, as well as, for example, many of the dance tunes from Thoinot Arbeau's "Orchesography". The extant instruments are only fragments, so it's unclear how many pipes there should be.
A convenient thong hole allows the pipes to be tied to the belt of your T-tunic, or worn as a pendant around the neck.

Please post some instructions on how to play. I get practically no sound with these. If you look up a video called jorvik panpipes, are they supposed to sound like that? Should i print them thicker or sand something away?
