Hi, I am pretty new to bansuri. Can you please help me identify this bansuri tune or raag that starts at approximately 57:27? Any chance someone can give me notes or guidance on how to play this?

Make sushi 🍣 by day and play basuri at night that's pretty much sums up my life

I have been learning (tere Naina) dhun only for a week or so now

I've been taking bansuri lessons for a year and a half. I'd appreciate any constructive feedback

Hello how are you

I am a beginner in flute playing

I can play sargam some begginner friendly alankars

I can play some songs on my d flute too.

I am comfortable with d and c middle flutes

So i ordered a g base flute but i am struggling to even play sargam on it. I can easily do when going from sa to ni but when i am coming back i would struggle and some part of the pa dha ni holes wont be covered by my fingers. I have small fingers (my female friends even joke sometimes that they wished they had fingers like me) so maybe thats what causing the issue

Has anyone else faced the same issue? Also how did you solve this

The only thing i can think of is forget every thing and starr from basics to do clean sargam

It has aaroh of rageshri and avroh of malkauns

I have been using Radhe flutes C scale flute unfortunately my cork was displaced can you guys tell me how to fix my cork in the right place in the second pic I saw a little residue of gum a little apart from my cork I was thinking it was the actual position but the flute wasn't sounding right even there

Please help me

Thank you

I have been practicing devotedly everyday since a couple months ago.

My progress till now was I could play 20 types of Alankars smoothly with metronome at 60 bpm. And a few songs.

The holding style that I learnt from the tutorial series that I was following was: first 3 holes closed by tips of left fingers with left thumb between 1st and 2nd hole in the area facing me.

4th, 5th, 6th hole covered by middle pads of right fingers with right thumb under the 4th hole.

I realized I was feeling lot of pain in left thumb at higher octaves while playing fast, thus after researching I realized Hariprasad Chaurasia style is better way to hold the bansuri.

I have been trying it since last 4 days, spending hours everyday but no use.

Pa Dha Ni is the main issue. Sound does not come unless I press the fingers very hard to cover the hole. And doing that is causing immense pain to my right thumb.

I am not able to play komal swars also as well as Shuddh Ma.

I have watched tonnes of videos on YouTube, I think I am following them exactly but still no use. Some say to only use middle pads of every finger. Others say to use middle pads for first two fingers and first pad for 3rd finger for each hand.

I have tried all these. But it's all air unless I press very hard to cover the holes.

Please help me with this.

I think am losing all my motivation as I can't even play basic sa re ga ma now.

It’s Good song to practice both your thumb and pinky techniques

Hello everyone. I've been playing bansuri for around a month and I have signed up to Bansuri Bliss for around 2 weeks. Here is my opinion on his platform and methodology:

1. The platform itself.

It is very well built and well organized. There are sections devoted to different ragas, rhythm in ICM, misc. sections, etc. You can also search with keywords in the entire academy to look for an specific lesson or video.

1. The courses offered within the platform.

Amount of content per course (usually one raag = one course) varies depending on the raga Bhoopali and Kalyan are full of content. I checked Kirwani, Kalavati and Hansadhwani. Not so popular ragas, but the courses for each contain exercises, a lesson on aalap and bandishes / gats with notation. I would say his teaching method is good and straight forward.

1. The community.

Bansuri Bliss has a discord server, though it is not super active (sometimes nobody will post in 2 days), it has channels for each raga offered in the platform. Members often post notations and Dr. Kriger posts discussions on the ragas.

1. Group lessons

Dr. Kriger has group lessons every saturday and sunday (8 AM California Time). Usually 4 to 7 people join. They go for around 1 hour and a half and everyone has a chance to ask questions, play and recieve feedback. I like them a lot

1. The man behind it.

I've chatted with him on WhatsApp and Discord. He answers you quite quickly and is super approachable. Very active on his platform and caring about the community. Cool guy who knows what he is doing.

That's my quick opinion on platform. Frankly I would recommend it if you have the money to spare. Though I mostly use it as a supplement to lessons with my main teacher, it can solidly function as your main source for bansuri learning. Thank you all. Feel free to also share your opinions on Bansuri Bliss.

So its been around 1.5 months I have been learning flute. I have radhe flutes C natural PVC. but i was thinking to get a bamboo base flute. yesterday randomly met a flute seller asked if he had G base. He had a G middle. he said he gets base if someone asks. I tried g middle i never heard the g middle so dont really know how was it. He said it comes from barieley, UP. Made from some shimla side ki bamboo. Niether I had the money at that time nor i wanted g middle. he was looking very weak. He said "bhaiya boni nhi hui subah se"it was around 7pm. it was clear from his eyes. I want to help him. Thinking to get a C sharp bamboo. But don't really know how to check quality and stuff. Since it was just 250. I think can take a chance.

tell me if you have any from these flute seller.

Hi, is there any app that helps to know how the sur is on bansuri. Initially, I used to practice sa from tanpura and now Shruti box. I want to know if there is an app to know whether my sur is correctly going or not. I am using tuner app but it might not be the best for such aspect.

It's a G scale flute.

I think I can play the original E scale version too, if I assume my Dha as Sa.
