@veronika_vitazkova: This is an instrument similar to pungi (I am missing one drone pipe)- also known as the been, is a traditional wind instrument from India, primarily associated with snake charmers 🐍 Snake charmers use the pungi to perform for audiences, often with cobras or other snakes. While the music and movements of the charmer create a mesmerizing effect, it is important to note that snakes do not actually respond to the music. Instead, they follow the movements of the charmer and the instrument due to their keen sense of detecting vibrations and motion. The practice of snake charming has a long history in India and is part of the country’s cultural heritage. Snake charmers, known as saperas or been players, traditionally belong to specific communities and have passed down their skills through generations. The pungi is made from a dried gourd that forms the main body, with two reed pipes inserted into it. One pipe is used for playing melodies, while the other provides a continuous drone. These pipes are often crafted from bamboo or cane. #pungi #been #doublereed #soundtrack #sessionmusician #worldwoodwindplayer #flute #flutist #gamecomposer #filmcomposer #snakecharmers
