Hello, namaste and welcome!

Whether you're a professional concert player, an advanced enthusiast, or an absolute beginner, here is possibly the end of your search for the flute of your dreams — custom-made, concert-quality Bansuri and Carnatic bamboo flutes offering a range of customisation options found almost nowhere else. Premium-quality flutes, built for North Indian Hindustani classical, South Indian Carnatic classical, and world music, including jazz and blues.

Have small hands but want to play large bass flutes? Already playing bass flutes, but wish for a bit more ease of fingering — or that you could reach the 7th hole comfortably with your pinkie? Definitely possible here, thanks to Hole-Tunneling™ — my original innovation that helps place hard to reach tone holes within comfortable reach, without altering its pitch.

An easily playable 7th hole is a real boon for Carnatic players, who lean on it constantly for complex ornamentation. And it's wonderful for Bansuri players too, bringing that magical lower Tivra ma or even Shuddha ma within reach, and opening up the possibility of executing beautiful meend across the register break.

Looking for a dark, thick tone, or something bright and airy? That's yours to choose as well.

No off-the-shelf flutes. Each one made from scratch — for you, as you want it.

Made for your hands, your skill level, and your aspirations.

Mobile App: Interactive Fingering Chart and Bansuri Transposer

Bansuri Transposer helps bansuri players find easier finger positions for ragas and scales that are otherwise difficult with the standard Sa (tonic) at three holes closed.

The app also allows you to shift Sa to different positions for key changes or simplified fingerings. For example, in the standard Sa position, the Bhairavi scale involves half-holing of all the holes, which is quite challenging for most players to play with speed and accuracy. If this Sa is moved to, say Ni, the whole scale can be played without any half-holing at all.

Sahaj Shankh Bansuri
Sahaj Shankh Bansuri

Sahaj = effortless or easy; Shankh = Conch

Sahaj Shankh Bansuri is my latest innovation that makes even a super large bansuri like the G Shankh (or super bass) as easy to play as an E bass! This would be unimaginable without applying my Hole-Tunneling™ technique.

Bansuri Care

bansuri care

Maintain your Bansuri for a long and mellifluous life. Protect your flute from shocks — both physical and thermal.

After each playing session, wipe the bore dry and regularly oil your Bansuri to preserve its tone and longevity.

The best flutes I have ever played! Thank you, Anubodh, for making them for me and my family.

Raga Music

raga music

What is a Raga? It can be a difficult concept to explain. While ragas follow certain fixed modes, they should not be mistaken for mere scales or modes.

A raga is a precise, subtle, and profoundly aesthetic melodic framework, offering endless scope for expression, emotion, and improvisation in Indian classical music.
