More about Bansuri, Professional Flute in A, 22"
-
Professional Bansuri flute in A, approximately 22 inches in length
-
The Professional Bansuri has a mouthpiece that is played in a similar way as the western transverse flute
-
It is made from a single piece of bamboo with seven holes
-
The pitch indicated for the bansuri means the flute will play that pitch with the first 3 holes covered
-
The dominate hand plays the lower three holes
-
The seventh hole is optional and rarely played
-
Its main purpose is to give greater accuracy in the upper octaves
-
It may be played on the rare occasion when you need to play the Ni in the lower octave
-
The bansuri is a transverse flute from India, literally from the words bans (bamboo) and suri
-
It is one of the oldest musical instruments
-
All half notes, accidentals and microtones are produced by a unique fingering system
-
The finger holes have to be precisely covered either fully or half by the phalanxes of the fingers and not by the fingertips
-
This technique also simplifies the playing of longer bansuris
-
The standard quality of the Indian bansuris produce a quite beautiful sound, but their tuning is often not exactly to the western standard notes
-
It can happen that they sometimes sound slightly out of tune to the western ear
-
This Professional Bansuri flute is hand crafted
-
Becoming a perfect flute maker takes a long time
-
One must know the materials as well as the craft; and one must have patience
-
Each flute requires years of preparation and then concentrated attention to details
-
The professional Bansuri flutes are made from only one type of bamboo, called cinchor
-
This bamboo only grows in the interior forests of Assam
-
Only straight Bamboo of 3 to 4 years old and of the proper diameter can be used
-
The cut bamboo is then treated, dried and stored for years until it is properly seasoned
-
The longer it is seasoned the better the flute
-
The correct notes are achieved by piercing the seasoned bamboo with hot iron rods in precise positions along the length.
