Single pan band competition

I went to the Single Pan Band competition. That used to be the "Pan around the Neck." This is traditional pan bands meaning each instrument consists of a single pan. A bass is one barrel, a cello pan is one barrel, a second pan is one barrel. Of course the instrument has developed a lot and the individual instruments have expanded to full chromatic voices, whereas the “single pans” will have a limited number of notes. There just isn’t space for all the notes in a chromatic scale on the lower voices. Sometimes the limitations necessitate the greatest creativity.
