Your erudite Indian scholarship never ceases
to amaze me, Vaj! You'll post almost anything
in order to discredit the Marshy. Go figure.
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.
