Moshuq [Moshug] (gender unknown)
original: [मोषुक् ?]
According to Day the instrument "is used merely as a drone; the holes in the pipe are wholly or partially stopped with wax so as to tune the instrument to the pitch desired", adding "The Moshuq of Northern India does not differ much in outward appearance from this, but contains a chanter, with the addition sometimes of a drone.";
