Here is a silly question. What type of music do all of you play on the Pan Flute? I love the old style music I hear on it, medieval sounding I call it. :) But...

Hello mr.Kevin, I agree 100 % with your vision about pan flute repertoire but with your another vision about "to try to become another Zamfir ",I-m not agree. ...
