Pallettes (Fr.)
The white keys of the piano, etc. The black keys are called feintes (faints).
Pandean Pipes or Pan's Pipes. The syrinx; a series of small pipes made from reeds, sounded by blowing across the open top. An instrument of unknown antiquity and universal use. The ancient Peruvians carved them out of stone. The Fijians and the South American Indians make them with a double set of pipes-one set open, the other closed at one end, thus producing octave successions.
