Allahabad, Dec. 14 : An Allahabad-based flute player left the audience spellbound by playing the instrument from his nose instead of his mouth.

"I really liked his art. I had heard a lot about him but had never seen him play, but after listening to him I would like to say that he is a wonderful flute player," said Shanti Srivastava, an audience.

Ashok Prajapati, who started playing the flute at the age of 13, recounts how he was fascinated to play flute from his nose.

"I used to like music from the beginning so I used to purchase flutes from the market. Then thought if a flute can be played with the mouth, then why can''t it be played from the nose, so I started playing flute from the nose," said Prajapati.

Considered to be the most melodious musical instrument, the flute is one of the toughest instruments to master. (ANI)
