A bansuri is traditionally made from a single hollow shaft of bamboo with six or seven finger holes. Some modern designs come in ivory, fiberglass and various metals. The six hole instrument covers two and a half octaves of music. The bansuri is typically between 30 centimetres (12 in) and 75 centimetres (30 in) in length, and the thickness of a human thumb.[1][8] One end is closed, and few centimeters from the closed end is its blow hole. Longer bansuris feature deeper tones and lower pitches.[1] The traditional design features no mechanical keys, and the musician creates the notes he wants by tapping the various finger holes.[1][9]
The bansuri-like flute is depicted in ancient Buddhist,[10] Hindu[11] and Jain temple paintings and reliefs, and is common in the iconography of the Hindu god Krishna.[12][13] it is intimately linked to the love story of Krishna and Radha.[14] The bansuri is revered as Lord Krishna’s divine instrument and is often associated with Krishna’s Rasa lila dance. These legends sometimes use alternate names for this wind instrument, such as the murali.[15][12] However, the instrument is also common among other traditions such as Shaivism.[16] The early medieval Indian texts also refer to it as vaṃśi, while in medieval Indonesian Hindu and Buddhist arts, as well as temple carvings in Java and Bali dated to be from pre-10th century period, this transverse flute has been called wangsi or bangsi.
Mridangam
The Mridangam is a classical double headed percussion instrument of Tamil origin. Along with its ancestor the mathalam, miruthangam is one of the most ancient of rhythmic instruments. It is commonly referred to as the “king of percussion” instruments. Miruthangam is used primarily as a rhythmic accompaniment in a carnatic music ensemble including vocal, instrumental and bharathanatyam dance performances. The body has quite a big opening at one end and at the other end a smaller one. On these two openings the skins are fitted. Their tension is held by a rawhide strap, which is pulled to and fro over the whole length of the body between the two skins. The skins of mridangam are made out of goat, cow & buffaloskin and are layered. The black spot (atham or karanai) on the smaller skin is made of rice starch as a binding agent and ferric oxide as substance and is confined to a smaller area and is thicker than on north Indian drums. The outer skin ring, which overlaps the end-to-end main skin, covers a larger area so that between this ring and the black spot only a very small ring is exposed. The overlapping outer skin ring is partly responsible for the typical rattling sound. The bigger skin has no black spot. Tuning blocks under the strap are also traditionally not used for mridangams. ,Brand : Sui-O-Bani Sruthi
