Answer:
Bismillah Khan brought respectability to the Shehnai and raised it to concert level. He is credited with a virtual monopoly on Shehnai and his name is synonymous with Shehnai. For his achievements and contribution, he is always addressed as 'Ustad' Bismillah Khan, the honorific with which he later became better known.
