Snake Charming Instrument (Pungi or Bin)
Most common named as snake charmers flute, the pungi is the instrument of the snake charmers and its purpose is to hypnotize the snake and make it dance or only to make it stay and it seems to be a tame snake but it’s a very dangerous and poisonous snake that with a single bite they can kill you because the poison that the cobra has is like acid and breaks out tissues and can make a hole in the skin. It has a length of one or two feet’s, and its handmade and at its name is made of pungi, to play the snake charming flute the snake charmers need to use and learn a technique called circular breathing because the melodies are not designed to stop because the snake could recover its awareness.
Types of Snakes usedThe most common snake they use in the snake charming is the Egyptian Cobra but they often use many others snaked an d not all poisonous like the “rat snake” that its only feed by rats, they also use the “India Sand Boa”, and also the “Puff Adder”. Obviously they start their training with non poisonous snakes and then they start adding more adrenaline to their training until they can manage the most deadly snaked in the world.
Dangerous act
In these video you can see the dangerous that is to have these snakes because the snake charmers need to clean the all, feed them and train them all, it’s awesome how they manage the snakes, they take them form one place to another and they don’t have a single bite. These are the most dangerous things that a person could do face a snake because the are not domesticated and if you go close to them they bite you but few people can take care of them without getting killed.

This is a very interesting topic you chose Gaspar, I couldn’t imagine that there is a certain instrument that is able to control or hypnotize a snake. It’s curious what the instrument might be made of, or what kind of noise it is that attracts the attention of the snake. I also find it extremely dangerous for the person doing this hobby, work, or activity whichever you like to call it, because one bite of this snake can cause the death within minutes if it is not treated in a hospital or with the right care. That’s why I think that whoever does this must be very prepared because he or she must know that they are controlling a snake with an instrument, which I suppose it’s not that easy.
