The rasan is the smallest instrument in the Gujarāti family and has now disappeared from modern playing practice. The instrument has eight frontal tone holes, but no thumb hole. The mouthpiece consists of four palm leaf segments. The body was reinforced at the top with a metal band. The shaft of the ornamental bronze funnel has been fitted with a series of circumferential rings and is finished with a band of stylised pearls.
