Claude Debussy wrote "Syrinx (La Flute De Pan)" based on Pan's sadness over losing his love. This piece was the first unaccompanied flute solo of the 20th century, and remains a very popular addition to the modern flutist's repertoire. In classical mythology, Syrinx (Greek Συριγξ) was a nymph. As she was chased by the Greek god, Pan, she ran to a river's edge and asked for assistance from the river nymphs.

Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of pan pipes, which were thenceforth known as syrinx.

Archaeological studies of rock art  in  Northern Australia  suggest that the people of the  Kakadu  region of the  Northern Territory  have been using the didgeridoo for less than 1,000 years, based on the dating of paintings on cave walls and shelters from this period.
