Answer :

This question is from the chapter 'The Sound of music Part II.'

Emperor Aurangzeb banned the playing of the musical instrument called 'pungi' in royal residential areas because of its high-pitched and unpleasant sound. However, a barber from a family of musicians decided to improve the sound quality of the pungi. For this purpose, he chose a pipe with a natural hollow stem that was longer and broader than the pungi and made many holes in the body of the pipe. When he played on this pipe by closing and opening some of the holes, soft and melodious sounds were produced. He played the instrument before the royal court and everyone was impressed with the sound quality of this new instrument. The instrument greatly differed from the pungi and so had to be named. Since it was first played in the Shah's chambers and was played by a nai (barber) this new instrument came to be known as 'shehnai.'
