Product Description
A bamboo flute is remarkable in its simplicity. It is a legendary folk instrument associated with Lord Krishna. The hindi word bansuri is a synthesis of baans meaning bamboo, and sur meaning musical note. The Indian flute is melodious and a wide range of notes is achieved from simple calibration of the air column in the bamboo. A community of craftsmen living in Pilibhit has made making flutes from bamboo a hereditary family enterprise. Only a few master craftsmen know the closely guarded secret of indexing the musical notes precisely, which is done by piercing the bamboo to make holes for placement of fingers. The professional flutes are made from seasoned bamboos, which are carefully selected and stored before conversion. Great musicians of the Indian classical tradition source their flute from Pilibhit craftsmen. The flute presented here is meant for professional play and is made by an expert craftsman from Pilibhit, Nawab Ahmed.

NB: This is a folk music instrument and is handcrafted by the artisans of village India. The folk music instruments are usually meant for sale in the rural local markets. The artisans use very simple and age old tools to make folk music instruments. Almost all folk music instruments therefore lack the finesse that we often see in classical instruments.
