About Bansuri

Immagine
The bansuri (Hindi: बांसुरी);(Bangla: বাঁসুরী) is a transverse alto flute of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, made of a single length of bamboo with six or seven open finger holes.

An ancient musical instrument associated with cowherds and the pastoral tradition, it is intimately linked to the love story of Krishna and Radha, and is depicted in Buddhist paintings from around 100 AD. It is intimately associated with Krishna's Rasa lila; the tunes on his flute are poetically associated with driving the women of Braj mad.

North Indian Flute - Bansuri

The North Indian bansuri, typically about 14 inches long, was traditionally used as a soprano instrument primarily for accompaniment in lighter compositions including film music.

The word bansuri originates in the Sanskrit bans [bamboo] + swar [musical note].
There are two varieties of bansuri: the transverse, and the fipple.

The fipple variety is usually played in folk music and is held away from the lips like a whistle. Because of the flexibility and control it offers, the transverse variety is preferred in classical music.
