 Product Description Pungi (Snake Charmer)
 

Flute like Been is the snake charmer's pipe. It consists of two pipes ( a drone and a chanter) made of wood, bamboo or metal set into a gourd. The player blows into a large opening in the narrow portion of the gourd and fingers the apertures on the chanter (called the dandi) to produce the melody. Some beens do not have these apertures. Two human hairs are inserted into the pipes and attached with wax. This is a trick developed by the been players to add a hissing , snake like sound to the instrument. Typically, the been is decorated with strings of cowri shells looped over the gourd and hanging down like tassels. Stamina and breath control are needed to become a skilled been player.
