The '''ottu''' (or '''otter'''<ref name="GhoshBanerjee2006">{{cite book|author1=Sampa Ghosh|author2=Utpal Kumar Banerjee|title=Indian Puppets|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iy6_TtXCZjMC&pg=PA26|access-date=25 December 2012|date=1 January 2006|publisher=Abhinav Publications|isbn=978-81-7017-435-6|pages=26–}}</ref>) is a [[double reed]] wind instrument, used in [[Carnatic music]] of Southern India to provide a drone accompaniment to the similar [[nadaswaram]] oboe.<ref name="Dakota)Cross1982">{{cite book|author1=Shrine to Music Museum (University of South Dakota)|author2=Thomas E.

In some cases, a [[shruti box]] may be used in place of the ottu due to its steadier sound.<ref name="Shankar1983">{{cite book|author=Vidya Shankar|title=The art and science of Carnatic music|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5vgHAQAAMAAJ|access-date=25 December 2012|year=1983|publisher=Music Academy Madras|page=10}}</ref><ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite book|author=Alison Arnold|title=South Asia: The Indian Subcontinent|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZOlNv8MAXIEC&pg=PA359|access-date=25 December 2012|year=2000|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-0-8240-4946-1|pages=359–}}</ref>
The player holds the instrument in their left hand, sustaining the sound by inhaling through their nose, and with the right hand, beats on a drum strapped onto a belt.
