Relation between Hindustani and Carnatic Flutes
August 13, 2025
Our WhatsApp Group buzzed again with an interesting topic. Here's the extract for the benefit of all music lovers out there.Krishnakant (KK) : Hello. I have a small question which I'm confused about. What pitch of carnatic flute do I need to match an E bass hindustani flute? I've done the reading behind it and…Relation between Hindustani and Carnatic FlutesSongs that contain Sargam in lyrics
March 7, 2022
It is a good idea, for beginners and amateur flute players, to practice songs which already have Sargam in them, like, this Asha Bhonsle Song - "Piya Bawari..." which has Sargam inside its lyrics. Why? Because you can play such songs on any flute without actually worrying about the 'scale.' And then once you have developed…Songs that contain Sargam in lyricsThank You, YouTube

Pramod Kumar is into catching criminals as a Police Constable. Yet, at the same time, he catches songs and tunes on his Bansuri also. मै एक पुलिस वाला हुँ एक दिन देहरादून घन्टाघर पर ड्यूटी थी जन्माष्टमी का महीना था बांसुरी वाला बांसुरी बेच रहा था मैने उसे बुलाया ओर एक छोटी सी बांसुरी खरीद…Thank You, YouTubeThere is only one Tivra swar

Many people, especially those who have just picked up learning flute, have a doubt that blowing harder on flute might produce Tivra sound for any note. This is not correct. Blowing harder produces sound of that note on its Higher pitch. For example, if you play "kora kagaz tha", which is a duet song, you can…There is only one Tivra swarWhen to move from a small to a bigger flute?

The following is an extract from an interesting conversation we were having in our WhatsApp Group. This subject is, in fact, not much discussed but remains there as a 'doubt' in many new flutists. Although the conversation started on one topic and touched many other associated ones, but all of it is interestingly answers many…When to move from a small to a bigger flute?
Why the 5th hole on Bansuri is bigger than others?
August 10, 2021
The other day, on our Whatsapp group, we had an enlightening discussion on the question put up by Milind Bhagwat that why the 'Dha' hole on all Bansuri is bigger in diameter than other holes?This question coincidentally generated another question as whether the 5th hole is a 'Dha' or a 'Ni' hole? Here is the…Why the 5th hole on Bansuri is bigger than others?

- CAPITAL LETTERS = Shuddh Swars (Natural Notes)
- small letters = Komal Swars (Flat Notes)
- M with # [hash] or ^ [exponent] = Tivra Madhyam (M# / M^)
- Letter/Alphabet ONLY = Medium Pitch/Normal blow on flute
- Letter/Alphabet PRECEDED BY a ” . ” [full stop] or a ” , ” [comma] = Low Octave Note/Softer blow on flute
- Letter/Alphabet FOLLOWED BY a ‘ [single quote] = High Octave Note/harder blow on flute
- Notes in { } = “murki” have to be played very fast without any pause
- A Note in ( ) = “kann swar” has to be just touched before moving on to the next note
- A “~” between two Notes = “meend”. That is, you have to glide from one note to another slowly to produce that wavy effect.
- Few “….” (dots) after a note = Play and hold that note

One correction:Here in the song, the notation of the part “Pyara sa chamatkar hun” is MM|M|GR-NS|R instead of MMM|G|R-NR|S, rest is all OK as the tune of that line is not the same as the notation of the part “Sabke sapne sach mai karoon” fully

Yes, A dot (.) before a note means that the note is in Mandra Saptak, or Udara Saptak. Similarly, an apostrophe (‘) after a note means that the note is in Taar Saptak, or Tara Saptak and a note with neither a dot before it in such a case, nor an apostrophe after it in such a case, means the note is in Madhya Saptak, or Mudara Saptak, and that note neither needs to be played softer on your flute, nor needs to be played sharper in your flute, you can just play the note normally

ये दिल और उनकी …गीत क्षितिज से परे प्रकृति के आलौकिक चितेरे ईश्वररूपी प्रियतम के भुजपाश में आनंदित रमणीय की अभिव्यक्ति को वास्तव में अख्तर साहब ने जां निसार कर मानवीयकरण की जो संकल्पना की है उसे पंडित जयदेव के तंत्रिक (जलतरंग) कलाबाजीं ने अंतरात्मा के एक-एक तार को झंकृत कर कल्पनातीत पारलौकिक यात्रा का आभास कराया हैं।
‘धड़कते हैं दिल इतनी आजादियों से ……वाकई…. धड़कन पर उसी प्रकार किसी का वश नहीं है जितना पवन, नदी, झरने, कलरव पर… । प्राची की किरण जहां पर्वतों पर सर्वप्रथम अनुरक्त है वहीं लयबद्ध सरिताओं पर मंद पवन का उर्मिल चुम्बन है। गीत में किरण स्त्रीलिंग और पर्वत पुर्लिंग जबकि पवन पुर्लिंग और नदियां स्त्रीलिंग का संकेत है, जिनके परस्परर अनुराग से सृष्टि का संवरण होता है।
लिपटते ये पेड़ों से … अंतरे में तरुवरों से मेघों का आलिंगन और उसके अवलम्ब के पीछे क्षण-क्षण में बादलों में चन्द्रमा के छिपने-निकलने से प्रकाश और निशा की कलाबाजी का दुर्लभ विषमयोग की अद्भुत संकल्पना को लता जी की ताल कहरवा राग पहाड़ी पर विरहिणी सुर मानव और प्रकृति के मध्य तादात्म्य स्थापित करता है।….राकेश कुमार वर्मा 7999682930
