What wind instrument is this?

Hey all. Sorry if this is the wrong board for this question, I had a look at the rules and charter and didn't see anything about this sort of question so here I go.

What sort of wind instrument is being played in these songs. Ignore where the songs come from, (I dont even play the game) I'm just really curious about these lovely sounding instruments.

First one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32768L08bC0&feature=related

Instrument comes in immediately, then another one (same instrument probably) comes in at about 1 min.

Second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx-yE6cvtiM&feature=related
Instrument comes in at about 15 seconds


I'm not very good with wind instruments. Its not a flute is it? It sounds a bit deep to be one . Low D tin whistle possibly? Any help would be appreciated.

pan pipes?

The 2nd clip is a concert Flute.

The 1st clip sounds like a bass Flute and the 2nd instrument that comes in is a bamboo Flute. That's my guess.

I'm abit of a connoiseur of video game music myself, I remember I had the special edition of baldur's gate 2, which came with the isolated soundtrack. I listened to that CD over and over...
