• Shehnai has better sound quality than Pungi. It is a natural hollow-stem whistle with a hole in the body, longer and wider than a pangi.
• Shehnai is, in a sense, an improvement over Pungi.
• Traditionally, Shehnai was part of Nowbat, an ensemble of nine traditional instruments found in the court.
• At that time it was only performed at temples and weddings.
• Bismiller Khan changed this by bringing it to the classic stage.
• The source of inspiration for Bismiller khan is Ganga ghats.
• Bismiller khan got his first big break when the all india radio came into existence.
