Fipple Bansuri Bamboo India Music Instrument Set of Seven (bansuri2)
From ShalinCraft
Bamboo Flutes from India, bansuri is a transverse alto flute made of a single length of bamboo with six or seven open finger holes. According to Wikipedia, bansuri is 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. 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.
