Very useful information, thanq very much.This is the first video which explained the right thong.
You are welcome. I’m glad I could help.
This is a VERY good layout and guideline for the anatomy of Bansuri flute playing these two flutes. I play both G and F natural bass flutes and confirm one must adapt the body to the flute which may or may not be good for you... thank you for your offering!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for this video, extremely helpful tips... Most important, thanx for the English channel for the FLUTE 🙏🙏🙏 And I must say, you have a lovely voice.... Keep your videos coming ❤🙌
I’m glad it was helpful!
thanks for the observation....
You're welcome
I just started playing e base...and fallen this problem...it will be definitely helpful to me and others... thank you.
Best of luck!
Before buying E base flute first check your finger length. Normal E base flute suitable for long fingers because the finger hole distance. Short fingers players must customize the finger hole distance
Nice suggestions helpful to many beginners
I’m glad you think so!
Thanks very much for discussing this issue. Your suggestion for warm-up and taking break is really useful.
Absolutely!
it's a maiden Utube Channel providing useful Tips as what precaution to take on shifting from Middle scale Flutes to bigger base Flutes like E base or D, C etc. Personally facing the same problems indicated to play E base Flute with streching issues & thereafter feeling Pains. Thanks for your useful Tips. Shall try now onwards to play Bigger Flutes.
All the best!
@@BansuriLove Thank You. Can U pls highlight on difference between Right hand Flutes & Left hand Flutes specifically on it's Makings, Carvings, Craftings & Structures. Regards...
I really appreciate u for enilghting this commonly- faced problem.Ur suggested wam up exercises r also v.effective & praiseworthy.It is fact that nobody has spoken on this problem as yet.Thank u v.much for being so concened & informative.keep it up.The manufacturers should also do some modification resolving this problem.
It's my pleasure. I do hope manufacturers start changing the alignment of the holes starting from F Base or E Base flute so that flautists with both long and short arms/fingers will benefit. This will also encourage beginners to try Base flutes.
Good morning
My name is Enzo and I am 65 years old
I live in Italy,
I subscribed to your CZcams channel

I'm a beginner
I have been studying bansuri flute for 35 days
I would like to purchase flutes like your basic E sound

Where can I buy it?
Thanks for your suggestions and your patience

Hello Enzo, I like the quality of Punam flutes. Here is a link for an E Base
www.punamflutes.com/shop/products/20/e-natural-base-flute-right-hand
Im now up to C# bass and after 20 minutes my hands get very tired but I love the sound. It's taken a year to get comfortable, I can play fast now but going back to E after playing a larger flute makes it so much more easier. There is still more stretching I need to do before I move down to a Shankh A Bass
I’m glad to hear that. Please share a video once you record playing on the Shankh flute.
@@BansuriLove will do!
I have been playing E base for 7 months now. First I had issues with wrist and now shoulder. You can get made to measure bansuri for ease of playing. Glad you addressed this issue.
Thank you. It would be great if you can share some links to websites who customize Bansuri.

It is precisely because of the problems mentioned here with playing on long bansuris that has forced me to re-think the fingering system. You can follow my thinking process on my channel under the "Bansuri Innovations" series. There, you will see a bansuri where one uses 9 of the fingers to control the tone holes. The more finger holes you have, the less the fingers have to stretch and consequently the more relaxed they are. Also, having to half close a whole for some notes weakens the volume and tone of the note. This is particularly noticeable when you are playing dha komal on an E Base bansuri or longer. The more separate tone holes you have, the less you need to rely on half-closures. Currently I am playing a bansuri with 10 controllable tone holes, therefore using all 10 fingers including the 2 thumbs. This needs some modifications so that the thumbs do not compromise on the holding and supporting duties. It is very easy to play this bansuri in a totally relaxed way once you get used to the fingering. I have not yet demonstrated this on my channel but will if there is sufficient interest.
I’m definitely interested in viewing your demonstration. Your solution is innovative, I think you should do it regardless of people’s interest.
European music solved this centuries ago. Install some plumbing, and balance it on a metal rod, playing upright.
Though your input is noted, these flutes are completely different and thus result in different issues and solutions.
👍
Thank you
Thankyou
You are welcome
Wait theres a right handed flute? As a leftie should i get a left handed flute then? Is there an ambidextrous flute concept because i do have back issues alreadu and i feel having the ability to switch hands would help not have pain
Yes, there are right handed and left handed flutes. You will be able to find both on Punam Flutes Website. Smaller flutes can be ambidextrous but you definitely want the left handed flute when you buy Base flutes. The holes are moved slightly to contour to your finger position which makes a huge difference in playing.
Hello sir ur vdo was very informtive. Sir I want to learn classical in flute, So sir can u suggest where I can learn online classical flute? Bcos I don't have any flute teacher in my town.
There are some good teachers available on “www.teacheron.com” for online classes. You can also find contact details of teachers on their CZcams videos.
What about a D bass, is it even more painfull to play on the beginning?
I don’t have a D Base but I’m guessing it will be difficult to play.
It is spelled Bass. Please correct it so as to not spread incorrect information. Thank you! 🙏
I’m using Punam Flutes website as a reference for the spelling.

I play E base flute from 1 year,but after playing 19-20 minutes my thumb pains very much
Please give suggestions for it
Try not to press too hard on the flute. Only use enough pressure to close the holes. You would still need a break after 20-30min of playing. Pain is inevitable if you don’t have extra long fingers while playing E base.
@@BansuriLove thank you it worked
Now I can play 40-50 minutes without any problem or thumb pain
I’m glad to hear that.
I wonder why the E bansuri is standard, if it hurts? Why not G or F?
E Base is the sweet spot for meditative sound. I have a G-base that does not sound as beautiful and warm as an E-base and anything lower than E would be too low. Getting a custom made E-base would help a lot with pain.
E base can boost up blood pressure as well ?
If your Blood pressure is increasing after playing an E base, it is probably from the physical pain your body experienced from playing a bigger flute but not necessarily from the act of blowing into an E base.
I’m more relaxed after playing because of the beautiful sound and long breathing sessions.
Why don,t you slightly bend your neck and take a support of your shoulder..
Did that work for you?
@@BansuriLove yes it make me comfortable
It would be great if you could create a video about your technique and share it with people.
Hindhime nahi bolsakta hai kya
I can but there are already so many Hindi Bansuri CZcams channels and only a few English ones.
Hi bro , I started my Bansuri journey few months back : learning carnatic & hindusthani flutes simultaneously: plz provide ur insta ID : need to discuss with u something
That must be interesting to learn both Carnatic and Hindusthani flutes. I don’t have an insta account yet but feel free to chat here.
