Bansuri
Ranging
from the biggest, which is a whopping 36 inch long flute
tuned with tonic (Sa) at B Bass
(247Hz), to a pocket size 10 inch murli
with Sa at D# High (1245Hz),
my concert bansuri flutes are built in 29 sizes. The standard
configuration Bansuri is a right-handed ,
seven tone hole side-blown bamboo flute tuned to Bilawal scale /Western major (Bilawal scale is sounded if the starting note [SA] is kept at 6 fingerholes closed and fingers are fully lifted one by one. If you were to keep your SA at 3 fingers Kalyan scale will sound. Please see my interactive fingering chart for clarity). The bansuri's listed in the
catalog down below are Standard bansuri's. A standard Bansuri has binding at two points - top and bottom. Some of the images in the catalog may have custom bindings - at more than two points
I
always have a few Bansuri's in stock. The
in-stock items are shipped out with in 48 hours of receiving
the payment. The ones not in stock may take up to 15 days
to build and despatch although all efforts are made to
effect it asap.
Custom Built Bansuri
And
what if you want a Bansuri flute built to your specification?
Mmm...hey, that is very much possible too! Want a reference pitch other than A440Hz or left-handed playing? But
why would one go for a custom built Bansuri flute at all?Because?
because, because, because
You
could have any or all of the above the custom features in
your next Anubodh baansuri for a mere 15% additional cost
(min $15).
No kidding!
Custom Scale Bansuri
Okay, did I miss anything here? Yes , here is a special for Bansuri students. How about buying your new Anubodh baansuri tuned to your favorite scale?
Example:
Say instead having a Bansuri flute tuned to the usual
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni (Raag Kalyan scale)
have it tuned to
Sa re GA ma Pa dha Ni (Raag Bhairav scale)
Yes, it is possible! This way you could avoid/reduce half-holing for some time more and move on to playing faster passages/ tan-paltas e.g. in Raag Bhairav, Raag Puriya Kalyaan etc., etc. Cheating? Not really. Innovativeness? Yes! A great way to start savoring the joy of playing difficult to finger raga's on Bansuri till the the time one becomes proficient in playing half notes. And it costs just 20% over the regular cost.
