I wasn't sure where to post this, but decided to give it a shot here as it concerns part of my character that I'm trying to get into. If it's in the wrong spot, I'm sure someone wiser than me will swiftly correct it.
I have been working on fleshing out the bits of my faeire persona, Rikki, and had mentioned that I considered getting some panpipes to a friend. She was kind enough to surprise me with a set with fifteen pipes. I've fallen in love with them, and adore the sound they make, but, sadly, I have no clue how to actually play anything on them. Any advice for a musically challenged fae?
I'm sure that there are lots of people who will post links, but I found this "how to" on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbWlYz9Zv5c

Pan flutes are challenging, but are absolutely beautiful. I got my pan flute from Brad White.
I suggest you start with his site: http://pan-flute.com/home.html
