Mahuri
The Indian mahuri is characterised by a relatively short, slender wooden tube - conical on the outside - with a small, squat funnel. This double-reed instrument has seven finger holes and a metal funnel decorated with a snake pattern. The reed support and mouthpiece are missing. A lip disc hangs from a delicate chain, while the carrying cord is decorated with coloured tassels. The mahuri is used for folk music and dances in the provinces of Bengal and Odisha. For example, it is the most widely used melody instrument in chhau, a traditional dance drama.
