<p>Content Updated.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Tubdi&#039;&#039;&#039; a flute-like folk wind instrument. It is usually played to accompany tricks performed by snake-charmers. Tubdi is made of a gourd-shell fitted with two tubes that have a number of holes on them. The instrument is played with the help of the fingers that stop and release its holds in harmony.<br /> <br /> On the other end of the shell, there is a blow-hole. The player blows the shell through this hole and keeps the hollow filled with air. This is why when a tubdi-player inhales, the instruments keeps playing. This is where it is different from normal flutes.<br /> <br /> Tubdi cannot produce high-scaled and varied sounds as a flute does. Unlike the flute, its tone is incessant and somewhat monotonous. The holes of the tunes are fitted with the shell side by side, at a little distance. Someone can also play tubdi with his nose; but in such instances, the instrument is called nasabangxi or a nasal-flute. Tubdi resembles the bag-pipe of the West in a number of ways, at least as far as playing style and sound are concerned. [Wakil Ahmed]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Performing Arts]]</div>
