Brilliant assessment. Fully agree !

Krishna the raga is beautiful.

I think you meant komal nishad. Cause the komal swars produce airy sound.

Totally agree on this one. Some music forms have become simple noise but Indian classical is devine.

@TheOriginal RudeBoy So true. Most just buy stacks of bamboo, burn holes and sell, without much proper knowledge of sound physics or an inquisitive experimental mindset. It is for this purpose that I have created a series "Bansuri Innovations" where I will be describing the strengths and weaknesses of bansuris and how to overcome them.

Whats difference in sound between thin and thick bamboo

By thick he means of larger diameter( bore) . 1. Larger bore give you a full throated warm sound, thinner bores offer metallic bright sound. 2. Larger bores tend to play the notes flat in the upper register and hence the player has to turn the bansuri outwards to compensate. Thinner bores play true in the upper registers. 3. Larger bores present a lot of difficulty to play notes above taar GA. 4 It is difficult to play fast taans on Larger bores, and hence the preference for thinner bore by many artists. 5. Larger bores ofcourse will need higher energy and hence demand higher endurance from the player. Also there is a upper limit on how large a bore one can get at a particular pitch. Going too high will need much bigger finger holes, impractical for playing. So there are certain golden diameters for each pitch. In fact in the present video, if my eyes aren't failing me, Hariji is using a thinner flute ( perhaps 24 mm ID) as compared to what the true flute Pandits Nityanand Haldipur, Devendra Murdeshwar, Pannalal Ghosh used . Hope this information helps.

@@allstringsattached No. By "thicker" I meant thicker wall. As far as the wall is concerned, what matters is also grain density. You can have a thick wall but if the bamboo is light, it will generally have lower grain density. Higher grain density usually leads to a more weighty bamboo. A higher grain density bamboo is more responsive but requires more effort. As you correctly point out, the internal diameter (what you call as bore) also has a large part to play in the quality of the sound and ease of playing.

You are most welcome.

You are welcome.

Anirban Banerjee: thats true, cant thank enough for the sharing, greets from berlin.

I have a few..interested? Message me if yes

Yes

@@kannanauh yes

Anis Zaman I think it's G. I just tried matching notes on my own flute. Not 100 percent sure though.

Thanks Chirag Sutar...but I thought it is an E bass...

Anis Zaman E base flute

Its E bass....

E

Anindo Chatterjee

E scale Flute used.

Lol megh malhar is different miya ki malhar is different...both are two different raags which give similar feels though.. wiping out mughals has nothing to do with it...lol...🤣🤣
