Snake Charmer Handmade Bamboo Snake Charmer Flute /Been Pungi

Product Description

 Description :

The Pungi is traditionally made from a dried bottle gourd. Often, the neck of the gourd is carved for aesthetic reasons. On the other end, two (sometimes one or three) reed or bamboo pipes are connected. These are known as the jivala. One of the pipes has 6- 9 holes and plays the melody; the other pipe is for drone. The jivala is fitted to the gourd with beeswax, which can be adjusted for pitch modification

The Been is a wind instrument mostly used in the subcontinent by snake charmers. The snake charmer or Jogi mostly uses this instrument to arouse snakes or for more religious purposes. The instrument is made of an air reservoir blown by mouth and made from a gourd, and the air is a channel into the two reed pipes through this fat part of the Been. The player plays the Been by blowing air in the instrument continuously without any pause and moving the instrument in a circular motion. Been originated in India, and most snake charmers use it for their performances.
