I dont have any experience with the bansuri yet, but I will say one thing about cheap musical instruments in general. About 1 year ago I bought a cheap kalimba. It sounded pretty bad. I quickly became frustrated and gave it up. About 6 months later i had the opportunity to get a good quality kalimba free. The difference was night and day. The kalimba i have now is a joy to play and i play it every day. So lesson learned for me. Don't buy junk when it comes to musical instruments. It's better to save up a bit and buy something you will enjoy.
I agree to some extent. My first instrument was a cheap guitar (I think it was the cheapest full size guitar on the market at the time). Thats all my parents could afford at the time. That guitar didn't sound particularly great and didn't feel very confortable or anything but, it had the essentials and it got me started on the instrument. Later we were able to afford a MUCH nicer guitar but, I'm really glad I started when I did with that cheap guitar because by that time I had gotten very proficient with the guitar and had like 6 years of experience. I think you have to see how much of a difference cheap vs expensive is and decide case by case. For my guitar, its noticable, but the cheap guitar was not unplayable or horrible sounding. So then in my opinion, its good getting that. But for other instruments, I think it may be different.
When you mention a cheap flute, what price range is a cheap flute? thanks for your video, very instructive. I visited your website too where you sell bansuris, looks fantastic. Rodrigo
Thanks for the advice ! I believe I have small hands, Do you have a demo about flute A to see if I like the range of the pitches ? I like bass sounds , so I am a little sad ...
@@tepuibansuri6377 it is very nice. I'm trying to learn it as my first song. I'm trying to play it but I can't figure out the the notes right after the beginning Pa and da and before Sa
chico fun hello my friend thanks for watching, I am the maker, this is G Bass, ideal for beginning the journey, check my catalog at www.tepuibansuri.com
I love that sound! What key is it Brother? 🤔 love the bass. I'm a white man in Australia but I love wooden flutes but no idea where to start or which culture. Japanese, Native American... Or Indian/Middle Eastern? Edit: I've decided that I'm getting a bamboo flute from 4 different cultures haha! God bless Brother, peace be. Jesus loves you ❤
Especially in Asia evey culture have there bamboo flutes for example Persian Ney , Indian Bansuri,Chinese Xizi and xiao ,Japanese Shakuhachi and shinobue all sounds unique and beautiful
hello, I have a D# bansuri , when I checked to see if my flute was in tune with note finder , it was in tune but 2divisions higher , should I buy another flute ?
Hello, if you are not an experienced player it would be hard for you to tell whether it is in tune, the best is to trust a good bansuri maker, check out this video ruclips.net/video/NyuorO9APcE/видео.html
Thank you very much for this. I am going to Delhi amd Jaipur next month, amd i would.like tixvuy a giod beginner flute (in G!). Can you recommend any makers/shops, please? I dont want to spend TONS of money but enough to get a well made, in tune flute wkth a good tone. Thanks.
i bought a flute for 7€ on thomann i brought it to my office for a week everyone kept playing with it but no one ever managed to make a sound with it did we buy an indian decorative object for the house? Or does it take hundreds of hours of training to make even one sound?
Hi there. Thank you for your video. Where can I buy a good one? Is there some special "brand"? All I find online are cheap... and what is the budget to have a good instrument to start with?
Pls. sir. can you say me, i am a woman, slim fingers, not short. I have a bansuri from rishikesh , key is C, 50 cm length, For 5 days i try to make a sound but every time I lose a sound, or good sound or no sound,,,why is it? is it a good bansuri? I m not young, I try to stretch fingers, i m russian, pls, help understand. may be in fb U r? I want to send you a picture of it/
it is difficult at the beginning, just keep playing and your sounds will improve, get a teacher or a more experienced flutist to check your flute to find out if it is a good one.
@@tepuibansuri6377 thanks a lot, yes, i try to practice..it is better. even some melody i played but not pure sounding...in any case i like my bansuri, it is good, i m bad///
Vagsclint Ampajan hi, you can buy bansuri directly from me! my email address is: tepuibansuri@gmail.com all Info about bansuris is on my website: www.tepuibansuri.com
I am finding it so hard to blow and hit the correct tune I think mine is D bass and it was bought from india for £60 not sure if that’s a professional cost or a dodgy one
Nice tutorial! I love how your bansuris sound, very sweet and mellow to my ears. Why do different bansuris sound very different in timbre, even if they are made from the same material (bamboo)? I know some can also be made of wood, but I'm referring to bamboo ones.

Hello,
When you say you are playing a G flute, are your refering to the Hindustani key or Western key, as shown on your website catalogue?
G= Sa
Could you explain, sir, why your flute has two tuning holes? Where did you buy?
hello dear, I am a Bansuri maker, two extra holes is a newer style of Bansuri, it gives one extra semitone
@@tepuibansuri6377 thank you sir. Could you tell me where did you buy or if you make it?
I make Bansuris in my workshop in Tenerife
@@tepuibansuri6377 Where's it? Do you sell them to India sir?
yes I ship to every country@@jeevanandhamm5084
What is a good price for a g bansuri for beginners?
Where can I buy the same flute as you?
I am the maker, just write me on my website www.tepuibansuri.com
I want to ask a question. If i purchased bansuri, the surface is little sticky. Is that normal or should it be smooth not sticking at all?
Jan Sedláček hello there, I think it should not be sticky, maybe ask the flute maker why!🙏🏽
Did you buy a cheap one did it say "best quality" on it
Throw it away and get another. I buyed one and it was sticky due to varnish and left a smell on my hands so it is toxic.
sir how to buy no website no twitter only facebook...from philippine.thank you
