This a about as large a flute as one can play because of the amount of stretch to cover the holes and large amount of air to sustain each note. But if one can surmount these challenges, the rewards are immense.
This bansuri is a perfect complement to E bass, the prevalent concert pitch in Hindustani music. Sa is transposed to the Pa of this bansuri, which is E. So this way one can show the Kharaj Sa note which is just magical.
