Tumba: Some musical instruments like Been, Tumba and Khanjiri are made of dried gourd.

The instrument used by Kalbeliyas is been. By playing been they can make snakes dance.

Total musicians = 120. Guitar alone = 40. All three instruments = 5% (6 musicians). Any two only = 30. Violin or flute alone = 120 - 40 - 6 - 30 = 44. The question asks for musicians who can play ONLY violin or ONLY flute.

They produce the sound of a fixed frequency when struck on a hard surface.

Correct Answer: Ney

Al-Naay is a vertical flute that is traditionally employed in Arabian music. This instrument is part of the rich musical heritage of the Middle East and is used in classical and traditional Arabian musical compositions.

Percussion instruments like drums are considered the oldest musical instruments because they are the most basic - requiring only a striking surface. While archaeological evidence is limited (organic materials don't preserve well), percussion predates string and wind instruments in human development.

A mandolin is a stringed instrument belonging to the lute family, typically with 8 strings in 4 pairs. Pakhawaj and Jaltarang are percussion instruments, while Kartal is a handheld percussion instrument using wooden clappers.

Al-Naay is a traditional vertical flute used in Arabian (Arabic) music. It is not part of Western music, Indian Classical Music, or Chinese music. The instrument is specifically associated with Middle Eastern musical traditions and is used in classical Arabic ensembles.

Mandolin (spelled as 'Mandolion' here - likely a typo) is a stringed instrument belonging to the lute family. Pakhawaj is a percussion instrument, Kartal is a wooden clapper, and Jaltarang uses water-filled ceramic bowls. Only the mandolin has strings.

A flute is a wind instrument because it produces sound by the flow of air across an opening. In contrast, drums are percussion instruments, while violins and guitars are string instruments. Wind instruments require the player's breath or a mechanical air supply to create vibrations.

Claret is a term used to describe a dry red wine from Bordeaux, and it is also used to describe a purplish red color.

A Veena is a string instrument (chordophone), whereas flutes, trumpets, and harmoniums rely on air movement to produce sound.

Except flute, all the others are string instruments.

An accordion is a portable musical instrument with a keyboard and bellows. The other options, such as a dart or a conclave, are not musical instruments.
