Musical instruments often cross the geographical boundaries with which we usually tend to define various objects of this world, and often the names of these instruments go on to become popular in the native language or the original language in which that instrument was created. Only a handful of musical instruments have common names in other languages like Hindi or English.
In this list of Hindi names of musical instruments, we have included many native Indian musical instruments also so that users who are learning Hindi could know the proper spellings of these instruments. Also, many foreign and Western instruments are called by their original names only and there is no particular translation in the Hindi language.
