In North Indian music, the shahnāī, also known as the shehnai, is the most widespread instrument. This woodwind instrument with a double reed originates from Uttar Pradesh, a province north of Delhi on the Ganges on the border with Nepal. The instrument has a sturdy body, seven frontal tone holes and three resonance holes underneath, making it one of the smaller representatives of the cone oboe.
