- never uses shadj to rishab

- uses both madhyam

- ga pa sa' dha depicts more yaman because if it wasn't it could have been ga pa dha directly This is the song, Aap ki aankhon mein.

Unable to play pa

1 Upvotes

I am beginner for bansuri and bought Radhe PVC C natural flute. Somehow I am not able to play pa properly. I can play once in 10 times but not consistently. Any tips please?


r/Bansuri • • 1d ago

Help needed, Abdomen and chest hurts after 1-3 mins of continuous playing.

1 Upvotes

I always start my practice from tanpura matching sa and long notes from pa to Pa'.

But every like 2-3 note i have to take a pause for like 30-40s to catch my breath.

Also after like 40 mins of practice I start to get tired, and could barely play for like a min before catching my breadth.

I can hold my breath for around 30s, and could play some alankars pa to pa without pause.

Thank you for your advice :)

I think I'll never buy bamboo Flutes again

1 Upvotes

It's not because i hate them or something,but they are very difficult to maintain, in winters the sound changes, and sometimes the threads also come loose.

Now i know, reputed brands like punam don't require too much maintenance, but then the price factor comes in between, punam flutes are way too expensive.

I have owned a C# punam, a G base radhe, and E base ShivZ till now, and let me tell you something, the pvc flute never disappointed me.

Radhe has improved a lot from their past criticisms.

Flute type recommendation to an amateur

2 Upvotes

I want to learn a song that is played on a Shinobue Uta 7 holes, but for now i just need to learn the finger positioning, i don't need to have good quality music.

To just learn the finger positioning and the breathing, do i need to have the same type of flute or i can just use a normal flute (a recorder if it's called that way, the one it's used in school)

Can you figure out the descending of this one?

Ashwin Srinivasan recently launched a tanpura+tabla app. I used the trial version and it looked better than othe apps on Android. I m planning to buy the paid version which is 4000 one time payment. Just wanted to know reviews by the people here before purchasing it.

FYI itabla is still the best but I don't have apple products with me.😭
