nadaswaram

Nadaswaram, also spelt Nadhaswaram, and also called Nagaswaram, is one of the most popular classical instruments of south India and the world's loudest non-brass acoustic instrument. It is a wind instrument similar to the Shehnai but larger with a large flaring bell, sometimes metal. It may be swung through the air while playing, creating a doppler effect. It is the key instrument which is played in almost all Hindu marriages and temples. In India it is considered to be very auspicious, and European influenced composers such as Lewis Spratlan and Carl Stone have expressed admiration for the instrument.
