Shahnai

The shahnai is a traditional Indian wind instrument, known for its rich, piercing sound. It is made from a long, narrow tube, often metal or wood, with a flared bell at one end and a mouthpiece at the other. Played by blowing into the mouthpiece and covering finger holes to produce different notes, the shahnai is commonly used in classical music, religious ceremonies, and festive celebrations. Its powerful and expressive tone can evoke emotional depth, making it a prominent instrument in Indian culture and music performances.
