and a popular solo instrument in Carnatic music. The enchanting tone
of Lord Krishna's flute is said to have captivated many a heart, and
the flute is hence considered a divine instrument. It has been in use from vedic periods.

the pitch of the instrument can be altered by changing the size
of the instrument. The western flute offers multiple pitches/tones, while the
