Syrinx is based on the Greek myth of Syrinx and Pan. Frightened, the nymph Syrinx fled from Arcadian Pan. As soon as Pan had captured Syrinx, he opened his eyes to find she had transformed into nothing but a bundle of reeds. He breathed a sigh of disappointment and was surprised to hear atune come forth: " At least that shall be mine," he said, and called his new instrument Syrinx in her honor.
