Syrinx was a beautiful Arcadian river nymph who had the misfortune to be pursued by the ugly Pan (he was all dirty-goat like). She fled to her little river in terror of being ravaged and called loudly to the Gods to help her. They heard her and in their mercy turned her into a reed (which is what the name Syrinx means) among the many other reeds on the bank. Pan was very disappointed, but cut off many of the reeds and formed the "Panpipes" or the shepherd'd flute. Pan goes around playing it everywhere, and who knows if one of those reeds was Syrinx or not.
