Some panpipes and flutes have an amplifier that sticks inside the Flute. Others are amplified using a microphone. Panpipes are loud enough that unless playing with an orchestra, one seldom needs to amp them.

The pipes are called resonators. Each one is at a specific length so the column of air contained inside resonates at the same frequency as the bar above it, so when the bar is hit the air moves too. Since there is now more matter vibrating, the sound is louder.

The same principle applies to speakers. The larger the speaker cone (ie. more material vibrating), the larger the sound. Some speakers will also have a cabinet specifically shaped to have a resonant bulk of air inside it to improve bass sounds.
