1. BANSURI
The bansuri, or flute, is one of the most primitive instruments of Pakistan. It is played by holding it
horizontally against the lips. It has six holes, which are closed and opened with the finger-pads in
accordance with the melodic phrases. The thumb below supports the flute. The typical flute has a
slanting mouthpiece that can easily rest between lips. The notes of the higher register are produced by
accurately controlling the apertures and by contracting the lips to blow a narrow stream of air.

The chimta is a pair of fire-tongs still used in Pakistani homes. The chimta used by performers is
approximately one metre long. It is played by hitting the tongs against each other and slapping a large
iron ring at the bottom against the tongs. Popular in Punjab and Sindh, it is used mostly as an
accompaniment to folk and mystic songs.
