I associate it too much with some boring Zamfir. Not Prog but I do like him in this:



The pan flute (also known as pan pipe) is used in several acts, including Popol Vuh's Aguirre on the first track towards the end of it.

¿Que me Dices uses some pan flute, Patanga (prog folk) uses pan flute, FLor de Loto uses some pan flute. Camel's "Stationary Traveler" track has pan flute.

I would imagine that there would be quite a few in the Prog Folk realm that would use pan flute. Swara Samrat in Krautrock uses some pan flute, and I would expect that some Krautrock bands would use it occasionally (maybe Ralf Nowy somewhere?).
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

As long as we have Ian Anderson blowing a concert flute, we don't need no stinking pan flutes!

Pan Flute is cool but it's extremely tricky to use it in a way so that it doesn't sound cheesy.

Because even prog isn't ready for the sheer ascending properties of the almighty pan flute which will open up the veils that separate us from a world so magnanimous and beautiful that we would melt into heaps of charred carbon atoms if we were to experience it too quickly.

Here is the pan flute army preparing an unsuspecting world for the celebrated day when the pan flute gods will descend from their perches in the sky and usher in the promised era of eternal peace!

I always associate Pan Flute with easy listening new age garbage. It might be that.

I looked everywere, but I couldn't find a prog band using the Pan Flute in their instrumentarium!
Why does the prog community despises this instrumnet?
