Namaste Sir
I'd highly appreciate if you or anyone can answer my questions....
When I play bansuri, the PA, DHA. NI, SA sounds different than the SA RE GA MA, as if I am using a different scale bansuri all togather.....does it mean it is not properly tuned? I am still learning, I bought the bansuri from a street vendor in India, I live in UK so cant get one from here, people selling one online are way to expensive in my opinion...any help would be most helpful..thanks

[@lamme527]

Very very cool........nice music.....What are those other amazing instruments in the back ground?

Im just curious but in India they don't practice posture? I mean the flute is supposed to be straight right so you can get the most out of the flute & your embosure- but he plays at an angle...is that how they play in India?

[@jithendravs]

Sir what is the difference between a normal bamboo flute and a bansuri?

[@kuckudk]

Sir, I have tried to play transverse Flute many times but failed. I wish to be your pupil.
