The concept of Gamak is essential to understand for any performer of Hindustani classical music \u2013 in both vocal and instrumental forms. The term Gamak refers to the controlled shaking of notes. In the process, other notes may or may not be used. The important Gamaks are: Meend(Glissando) Meend is a slow slide from one note to the other. Both starting and ending notes are equally articulated and played as if there is a continuum between the two. Meend may or may not involve adjacent notes. If it skips notes (e.g. S-&gt;G), the notes skipped in between are not significantly articulated but are treated as part of the continuum between the two notes. In Bansuri, meend is played by slowly shifting fingers from one note to the other. Because of the break between Ma and Pa, it is not possible to play Meend between them or across (Ga to Dha for example) with conventional Bansuri. Many Bansuri players have used innovations in grips or extra holes to overcome some of these limitations. Andolan(OSCILLATION) Andolan literally means \u201cOscillation\u201d. Andolan Gamak involves slow oscillation of the note with a higher or lower note in such a way that emphasis [&hellip;]"}
