BANSURI
North Indian - Bamboo Flutes
Namaste and welcome!
"Thank you to all of you for the love you have given us on YouTube
During my Bansuri teaching, I found that the first problem students face is deciding which brand and type of Bansuri to buy. In the market, there are many flute makers selling untuned
flutes under the guise of being affordable. Many students end up buying them, resulting in their ears getting accustomed to out-of-tune frequencies.
Crafting a good Bansuri takes a considerable amount of time, and the cost reflects the effort put into making it. Considering these challenges, we have brought suitable-priced Bansuris
for you.
This is our small effort to make your Bansuri journey melodious. Thank you."

Bansuri Care Tips
Dry the Bore:
Wipe the bore dry after playing, especially in cooler climates to prevent condensate buildup.
Storage:
Stand bansuri vertically to drain moisture.Store in a basket or stand against a corner; avoid cases or bags while drying to prevent mold.
Handle with Care:
Avoid knocking or dropping bansuri to prevent cracks.
Binding Maintenance:
Promptly fix any loose thread bindings to ensure protection; use adhesive tape temporarily if needed.
Avoid Floor Placement:
Never leave bansuri on the floor to prevent accidental damage.
Oiling:
Use Mustard or Walnut oil inside the flute and below the blow-hole.Apply oil with a swabbing device every couple of months, avoiding a 'wet' flute.
Points to Remember When Oiling:
Oil a new bansuri after 15 days of moderate play. Use a loose-fitting swab, and apply oil only up to the blowing hole. Do not oil a freshly played bansuri; allow the sur-
face to be dry.
Crack Repair:
Apply low viscosity cynoacrylate along the crack when the bansuri is cold. Press to close the crack for 30 seconds. Clean off extra glue after 5 minutes; apply thread
binding or scotch tape.
Temperature Considerations:
Avoid exposing the bansuri to extreme temperatures, as sudden changes can affect the bamboo.
Regular Inspections:
Periodically inspect the entire bansuri for any signs of damage, loose bindings, or cracks.
Gentle Cleaning:
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the exterior of the bansuri regularly.
Avoid Direct Sunlight:
Keep the bansuri away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can lead to drying and cracking.
Proper Playing Technique:
Play the bansuri with proper technique to minimize stress on the bamboo and prevent unnecessary wear.
Secure Storage:
When not in use, store the bansuri in a secure and stable location to prevent accidental falls.
By following these comprehensive guidelines, you'll ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your bansuri flute.
