Shehnai- Indian Clairnet OboeJul 29, 2008
Shehnai is considered to be the most auspicious instrument in India and that's why in temples or in weddings this is used as the main musical instrument. It is equivalent to clairnet and has double reed and 8 holes. Made of wood and brass, this instrument produces extremely melodious music.
