Thanks for the wonderful clarification and explanation. I am a mechanical engineer and an example/scenario comes in to my mind. Cutting a metric thread (mm pitch thread) on a British lathe (Thread per inch lead screw) or vice versa. Both are different systems but a relation exist among them. One should know the conversion factor.

Namaste madam... Very good explanation. I am learning the Hindustani flute( C natural middle) in carnatic style. This video clarified my doubts. When I fix “Sa” by closing the first two holes it becomes a” D” scale. (Carnatic tuner app is used for tuning ). I practised some songs from your tutorials. They were very useful. Please do a tutorial on the Hindustani flute in Carnatic style explaining all 12 swaras (teevra / komal)mentioning their names and symbols so that it will be beneficial for all learners. If it is already there please share the link. Thank you..🙏

Thanks a lot Madam. I brought an F scale carnatic flute and as you said it is shrill and i would like to learn in a more soothing sound. The 'pa' and later notes easily go to lower octave, but not 'sa' and 'ri'. Should i buy a 3 kattai flute now or should i fix 'pa' as my new 'sa' and keep learning with this please? Thanks for your help. I hope to cover all your training videos as I learn!

[@learnflute-bhoomaparthasarathi]

Wonderful. I have made one tutorial comparing Bansuri and carnatic flute and in that video I have also explained, about fixing any note as S. I am giving that link below watch it a few times. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGraXpyLgrGUa9k You buy one low pitched flute as well, flutists usually have many flutes.Some songs are easily played in some particular pitches. Now you buy one or two low pitched flutes like 3 and 2.5.

[@koolfreekin]

Yes mam, I watched that video and when I tried it with my F scale flute it was very nice. The problem is Im a begginnner and I memorized the swara sthana as you taught and played it from 'pa'. How can i improvize? It seems very interesting actually, but also very hard mam

[@koolfreekin]

I mean fingering for 'pa' thinking as 'sa' and wondering how to play sarali varisais. Do you suggest I go for a lower pitch flute to start?

[@learnflute-bhoomaparthasarathi]

That is really very very hard to do. Your mind has to get over that notes places and it should be able follow only the sound. It will take a very long time.But interestingly some learners master everything in a very short time. Let us wait and see. And do not stop practicing the learned S = 2 holes method. If you stop that, it will lead to unnecessary delay.

[@koolfreekin]

@@learnflute-bhoomaparthasarathi Sure mam. But I'm not sure if I would do it without lessons directly from a guru mam(i searched if you give online lessons directly). I just want to get the right flute as a tool to learn carnatic ragad and their music compositions. So to simplify, shall i go for 2.5 or 3 kattai? If you suggest to stay with my current flute and first master swaras in it, I will happily obey.

[@learnflute-bhoomaparthasarathi]

If you fix S as three holes, the position of other notes will be changed according to that. I explained that by playing the example of Vara veena in this Bansuri vs carnatic flute video.Please go through that once more.Like wise if we fix Sa as 1 hole, all the other notes change according to that. I mentioned in that video, how the notes in the carnatic flute change if we play S as 3 holes and if we start mentioning it , we will be singing RR MM etc.

After watching that video, you order your flute. if you get any doubt message me. I will clear it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoqYpWWhmt6gaa8 Pitch 4 is comfortable for beginners. The length of the flute and the distance between the holes are easy for the learners. After sometime you can switch to 3 or 2.5 pitched flutes, which are generally used by the flutists. I use generally 3 pitched flute. If you watch the above linked video, you will get an idea

[@karthi643]

Mam, as a beginner which type of flute can i buy for easy learing kindly suggest me, carnatic or hindustani?

[@learnflute-bhoomaparthasarathi]

See if you are learning from my tutorials, buy a carnatic flute of Pitch 4 and start. Pitch 4 is beginners flute. The length of the flute and holes distance in between are manageable for a beginner. Then after some time you can switch to a 3 pitch and 2.5 . But if you are learning from a Hindustani flute tutorial also, if possible learn the both ways. When I learnt flute I do not know that there is Hindustani flute and it has 6 holes. I was living in a very very small town. I was lucky enough to get a very good teacher.Other wise no exposure.Nowadays we have KZbin for our help. But if you start to learn both the ways carnatic as well as Hindustani, it may be confusing, for some people. Some learners master both ways. Flutes are not very expensive. So buy both types and try to learn and play and then decide which to follow. I have made a detailed video on the title, Bansuri v/s carnatic flute, I am giving the link below. Please watch it a few times. It may also help you to decide. But please do not decide now. Give yourself time. We do not know now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGraXpyLgrGUa9k
