The shehnai is a double reed musical instrument, highly popular in North India, It is made of a wooden body with a brass bell and has a long tube with seven finger holes and a set of tuning holes. The shehnai is played by blowing air into it through the double reed, causing it to vibrate and produce a high-pitched, piercing sound. It is typically used to play traditional and auspicious music during weddings, processions and other special festive occasions. The sound of the shehnai is distinct and has a uniquely emotional quality that invokes feelings of joy and celebration. It is often played in conjunction with other instruments such as the tabla, dholak, and harmonium.In addition to its use in traditional Indian music, the shehnai has also been widely used in Bollywood film music and has gained popularity across the world.
