Untitled[edit]

Well, this is a poser. Pan pipes is by far the better known name, but the Syrinx article was pretty complete (except for the pipes). I cut the Syrinx article out of EB1911 and substantially rewrote it, including important information that the instrument was predecessor of pipe organ and harmonica, then belatedly looked at Pan pipes and discovered there was an article already there, mostly quoting from the article on Pan.

I decided, arbitrarily, to make Pan pipes the redirect and Syrinx the main article, but it is surely a coin flip, given the reliability of redirection. If you want to flip them back, you are welcome, but using Syrinx as the main article has the advantage of picking up the extra meanings of syrinx and the interesting info on its plural. I think also that one article is better than two here. Ortolan88 16:07 Aug 10, 2002 (PDT)

And then someone else decided two articles was better than one. I made some changes to make two articles work. So it goes. Ortolan88 13:41 Sep 2, 2002 (PDT)

Is this the best place for "Temples of the Syrinx" section? It seems a bit out of place. Scix 07:27, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Another comment on this section; I wouldn't say that the title of the album is 'ironic.' If you see Pan as a foiled rapist instead of as a thwarted lover, then priests who worship Syrinx are right not like music (at least the kind where Pan blows through Syrinx's pipes.) I'm going to make a minor change to give the sentence a more neutral POV. Laura schnak (talk) 05:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

clarification[edit]

"Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of pan pipes, which were thenceforth known as syrinx." So he got to play her flute after all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.196.165 (talk) 08:26, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he got to blow her as much as he liked. Syrinx the Nymph (talk) 18:45, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Syrinx is a singular word[edit]

I think "a syrinx" means "a set of pan pipes" Syrinx the Nymph (talk) 18:45, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Syrinx[edit]

The syrinx The larynx is a cavity in the throat and contains our vocal chords. The avian syrinx is called a lower larynx, being differently situated at the other end of the windpipe. It is as if the human larynx were positioned in the chest. 2600:1004:B055:B4A8:0:46:B5C7:D201 (talk) 19:46, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
