Indian Musical Instruments: Type - Wind Instruments
While Been and Flute are made from wood; Trumpet, Saxophone and Bugle are brass instrument. Among all, been and flute are more common in India. I have a special attraction for them since childhood. In childhood, I use to wonder, how the soothing music is played by blowing air in instrument. Now that I have learnt about them, I would like to share my knowledge.
Been:
Been is usually played by snake chamber to control the body movements of snakes. Although it appears that snake is dancing on the music played by snake chamber but it is not true. He actually dances on the movements of snake chamber in order to defend himself. In reality, snakes cannot hear properly. These instruments are also called as ‘Pungi’ in India.
Trumpet:
They are among the oldest musical instruments. They are played by blowing air through closed lips. The brass trumpet is usually played by trombone player. Though it is not very common instrument in India but is admired world wide as wind instrument.
Saxophone:
Usually made from brass and was invented by Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax. It is used in jazz and classical music. It is most popular form of musical instrument played in military.
Flute:
It is yet another wood wind instrument. It is being played by lord Krishna to attract gopis. It is played by blowing air in the edge of holes in the flute.
Bugle:
It is considered to be simplest brass instrument, again played by blowing air. This instrument is usually seen in military camp for daily routine call. Earlier it was used to give instructions to soldiers in the camp.
All these instruments are made-in-India and are exported world-wide. If you are also looking for one such wind instrument in reasonable price, log on to www.indianity.com
