Does anyone know the specifics on the type of flute Henry Thomas played? I've heard it compared to a pan flute, but I don't really know what that looks like either.

thanks, tomtom

It was indeed a pan-type flute. I think I've seen it referred to as quills.

A quick search of the net turned up a bunch of what looked to be pretty good sites. For one with a little audio and a nice rendition of what they look like, go here

About four years ago I saw Mike Seeger. He played Fishin' Blues and had a set of "quills" on a harmonica rack around his neck. He told some stories about Henry Thomas and some background about the quills. I believe they were basmboo pan flutes. That's what they looked like.
