There are many musical instruments in India. Some instruments are used primarily in north Indianmusic(Hindustani sangeet) while many other instruments are used in the south Indian music (Carnatic sangeet). Instrumental music is often similar to vocal music but sometimes there are distinctive instrumental styles.

There is a traditional system for the classification of instruments. This system is based upon;

• Non-membranous percussion (ghan),
• Membranous percussion (avanaddh),
• Wind blown (sushir),
• Plucked string (tat),
• Bowed string (vitat).
