There followed a deafening pealing of panpipes, drumming of drum, and yelling of voices.

I was "strung up" to a high degree of expectation and listened every moment to hear the panpipes and the Roo-too-too-it.

Give me the drain pipes of the Fabians rather than the panpipes of the later poets; the drain pipes have a nicer smell.

The argument spread, like a ripple in a pool; soon everybody was twittering vocally or blowing on flutes and Panpipes.
