Indian Musical instruments have evolved over centuries. Each instrument has its
beautiful story of evolution similar to any other cultural history. Pots, pans, plates
were essential utensils used by human beings in the kitchen which later
transformed into musical instruments. Thus, most Indian instruments although
having started in simple forms because of a long period of evolution, have now
become exquisite instruments capable of producing varied pitch and range of
octaves. Had this evolution not happened we would not have seen so many
instruments in our country.
There are artists playing regional music or folk music who showcase music of a
particular region as well as classical musicians who have two styles -Hindustani
and Carnatic. All these musicians have created hundreds of musical instruments
out of which some are popularly practiced,some are becoming rare and some
have withered away or merged with new innovations in instruments.
There are various types of Musical instruments available
in all the regions of the country .Our musical instruments
fall under four different categories.
1. The string instruments are known as Chordophones
