Murli

        Murli consists of two parts - the upper one called 'Murli' & the lower one called 'Per'. The upper part is made out of a variety of gourd, which is dried and hollowed for the purpose. It serves as the main sound chamber.

Wind is blown by mouth into the Murli at the upper end and to produce music the sound is regulated by adjusting finger tips on the Per.
