The flute, along with the drum, may have been man's fist musical instrument. Apparently the Neandertals used the flute at least 43,000 years ago. The pan flute was used in Greece from the 7th century B.C., and spread to other parts of Europe and to South Asia with the Sanskrit speaking people before 1500 B.C. The origin of Indian music appears historically to be from the Vedas, according to most occidental scholars. The wooden flute, or in India, the 'Bansuri', was probably invented over 3,500 years ago. The Samaveda is considered to be the Veda of music. A string instrument called Van was also used, along with the Venu.
