For years the bansuri flute of India has been a solace to me--so much like the human voice. Often when I need to have a good cry, I do it on this simple instrument, which is made of reed, has very thin (resonant) walls, a wide diameter, and large finger holes for bending notes. This is an improvisation on medieval Spanish tunes.
