Thank you and glad you found it helpful. This idea has been there in many instruments, including the Recorder instrument, Boehm flute etc. I think this is very useful for Bansuri players.
You need to design an 8 or 9-hole flute with Hole 1 as the Pancham hole. I have designed one. Take a look at these measurements in the picture shared below. drive.google.com/file/d/13GgJ-xWHgWOaL0WoBCde_Ol8vaZ39u0S/view?usp=sharing I don't know your flute diameter or thickness. So don't use this as is. But design your own with correct measurements. Note that Hole 1 is your Pancham hole. Hole 5 open is where the Key is. Which is the usual Hindusthani Sa. Also, note that the frequencies are exactly double from 247.5 to 495. That is what we need because your Pancham is 4th down or 5th up, with double the frequency. I have chosen only a 5.7-diameter hole. The bigger the diameter, the farther it would be from the end of the flute, which would be more difficult to handle. So choose a diameter that places Pancham hole at a suitable place for you. This is a difficult task. You may make mistakes. Take it to a professional to do it. If you do it, do it at your own risk.
No hard and fast rules. Depends on which of those two options is easier in a given passage. Typically, when Ma to Pa or Pa to Ma transition does not involve meend or gamak, it is easier to use the regular Pa. Also regular Pa to Dha1 transition is easier than the thumb Pa to Dha1.
Many keyed wood wind instruments like sax, Oboe, flute have this concept of multiple fingerings for the same note. Player chooses the one that best suits the situation.
Wonderful Sir
Very innovative idea
Lucky that I came across this video
Thank you very much 👌👌👌👍🙏

Very Well explained sir. Am gonna make the holes in mine today itself. Thank you for posting.
Experiment with inexpensive flutes first.
Brilliant Idea Sir👌👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏
Thank you. This idea is not mine. I am just popularizing it.
Soooper sir🎉 I liked your videos
Very good explanation
Thank you.
Very very useful video sir about thumbhole using.
Glad you find it useful.
Superb explanation
Glad you liked it
Thank you sir... But e bass ka Pancham ka size kitna hota h?? ❤
I didn’t make thumb hole on bass flutes. They may be difficult because of their large diameters. Check hole size here iotic.com/flutomat/
@@VindyDays thankyou sir
@@VindyDays sir isme thumb hole ki information nhi h

Always start with a smaller hole and expand in small increments.
Then when to use regular pa hole 🤔
