What are the 'Types of Indian Bamboo Flutes'? - Tutorial - Sriharsha Ramkumar

[@SriharshaRamkumar]

#FAQ on Flute Selection: I highly recommend a 'Scale - 4' flute for South Indian Carnatic Flute aspirants. It is only my personal opinion. Reasons being: The radius of the holes, Distance between the holes, the pressure required to get the sound are apt for absolute beginners.

[@yourhighness007]

+Sriharsha Ramkumar, Sir I may sound sily but I want to know what kind of flute did lord krishna played ? I've heard he played Venu six inches long with six holes, Murali eighteen inches long four holes on the body and vamsi fifteen inches and nine holes but none of these matches with any of the flutes on the video, please solve the mystery sir !

[@ashwin372]

Sriharsha Ramkumar im confused so bhansuri is better?....

[@ashwin372]

Can venu play all songs?.. im a begginer sorry if i am wrong

[@Srananmufasa]

but when i look up the flute of krishna i get venu(he uses 3 different flutes) flute with 6 holes?? and also what key of the venu from krishna was his flute

[@sharadaramadass9732]

what is a scale 4 flute? can you kindly elaborate? if one were to go looking for it online or in a store (in Bangalore), what do we look or ask for? is it in relation to the pitch?

[@SriharshaRamkumar]

Hey People, Hope you all are doing great! I’m so happy to see my KZbin family grow day by day. We are close to 30K subscribers family. For the love and support I’ve received from you all, I decided to construct a fully loaded audio and video recording studio. The studio is in completion stage right now and I just can’t wait to get into the recording mode. I am working on new collaborations and will surely come up with a lot of popular covers & tutorials! Thanks for being patient and apologies for being a little inactive through this year. Stay subscribed for some exciting stuff coming on your way! Cheers, Sriharsha

[@candisecharmaine2913]

Both instruments are really beautiful!

[@angarasrihari]

Thank you Ramkumar Ji. I just started learning flute and this knowledge really helped me.

[@BassDrope]

Nice one! Here in brazil the carnatic flute tipe is called pifano. Its the same six holes like a bansuri, but it is in higher register.

[@stethoscanomaly]

Is the bansuri always in a lower register and the venu in a higher register (like the ones you showed in the video) or are there different sizes / pitch ranges for the flutes? Great video, thanks.

[@rishavsinha3376]

Aah two cultures fused together.. now this is why Indian music is so vast and yet so linked all together.❤️

[@armukundan5538]

I'm not a flutist and this gave me a wonderful insight! Thank you anna

[@schanzabukhari6064]

Wow this was beautiful and informative. I just have a hard time covering the holes properly, I think it's a D flute, it's huge and husky. I think I'll also get a smaller one. Love from Pakistan.

Iam Giridharan from Tamilnadu and Iam still a lot confused about the classification of flutes based on the tunes they produce.

So, please make us clear by answering my above questions? And please make it as soon as possible. And once again thankyou for this video which made me gain some knowledge.

Are these instruments chromatic, ie, can they play multiple keys, or diatonic, ie, in that they’re limited to one key like the typical diatonic harmonica? Obviously, I come to this with a western understanding of music keys.

I have a ques about what I bought. I bought this cheap bamboo flute(I think it is a flute). It has got six fingering holes and you blow on the top. There is a slit at the very top, kind of like on a recorder. So what exactly do I have??

[@xxifyxx]

iashrai this is just like mine. I came here looking for how to use it

[@adhimahajan]

Hi! there are two different types of North Indian flutes, The Sidhi (Straight in Hindi) and Aadi (Sidewise in Hindi) flutes. You have a Sidhi flute. It is very common in folk music. It is advisable to improve your finger movements on a Sidhi flute and work your way up to a aadi(Sidewise) flute . Happy Learning :)

Sir, can you tell me the relation between indian notations " Sa re ga ma ...... " and in english notations " a b c# c ......

Also can you tell me what are scales of flutes ? i have seen flutes of different scales ? i have c# scale of flute ..... what is your flute's scale in above video ??

[@Arjun_winds]

C-sa D=re E=ga F or F#=ma G=pa A=ni C=sa

[@darshankumar2717]

Although this may be too late to reply to you,the root note of a scale in the western music is sa in Indian music, tho to get the swaras like Shankarbharanam i.e the major scale also known as Dorian mode. It would really help you if you look up at modes in wester music wich is basically different swaras but in western terms.eg. natabharivi is minor scale also known as Aeolian mode. Hope this helped you
