Beautiful traditional/folk instrumentation

When you choose to transpose a song and select a flute, you have three variables to deal with. This handy little tool makes it quick to know your options and narrow down to a choice.

One of the early compositions by AR Rahaman with beautiful melody and intriguing orchestration.

One the most nostalgic and haunting melodies from 1973. Composed by Satyam and beautifully sung by SPB. Thanks to Sri Phani Narayana @PhaniNarayana for the inspiration for this song.

Very upbeat theme music from the movie Punnagai Mannan. In 1986, it was said that the music was created by a computer!! Original was on some sort of synth. I played it on the keyed silver flute, my dream from my childhood days.
