Description: The shehnai is a traditional Indian wind instrument, renowned for its poignant, penetrating sound. This double reed instrument resembles an oboe and is usually made of wood with a metal flare at the end. It's often played during auspicious occasions in India, its sound considered to bring good fortune.
Playing Technique:The shehnai's playing technique involves controlling breath to produce long, sustained notes with a range of overtones. Complex melodies are played by covering and uncovering the finger holes, and the embouchure must be carefully managed to maintain pitch and tone.
