Mukhavīņa

The Mukhavīņa is slightly shorter than the Nāgasvaram and is considered the sister of this double-reed instrument from the south of India. This example has eight frontal tone holes and a comparatively large mouthpiece. Both the nāgasvaram and the mukhavīņa are played as melody instruments in street orchestras or during processions accompanied by drums.
