agree  Dylan Edwards: I agree it isn't a modern flute. "Aulos tou Panos" or "Syrinx tou Panos" is a Pan-pipe. Dictionaries liken the ancient aulos to the clarinet or oboe.

disagree  Alex Seidanis: Back-translated in this context, the orchestral instrument "flute" would be rendered as "φλάουτο", not "αυλός". "Αυλός" is definitely the pipe (Αυλός του Πάνα = Pan pipe).
