Bansuri flute raga Hamsadhvani - Avi Adir - Learn how to play

[gabyarriagada1949]

so relaxing, beautifully played.

[rajputwm]

aweseome!

you might find it easier to loosen up you fingers on the top hand if you bring the thumb closer to the index finger. Just a humble suggestion. although it does get very difficult to change your grip once you get used to it.

[COSMICBUM]

[yukiyuki2906]

Just love this :D

[TheYamoos]

does anyone know exactly what type of bansuri this is? Key? Who made it? Where to find one? thanks

[Fiverrdrums]

@TheYamoos If my ear is correct his flute is in the key of E. All holes closed @ 1:20 sounds like an E with a length of somewhere in the upper 20's low 30's perhaps?

[kishoriray]

[oeterke]

Avi, it's absolutely beautiful!

[titoden]

Incredible, wonderfull song. I got no words to express what I felt when I heard it. Amazing.

[lingster32]

BEAUTIFUL

Can you recommend a book or video for learning?

How do you extract the samples? Heard of several software solutions to produce tabla and sitar sound directly.

[tscotty32]

what note is this played in?

[kairi990]

amazing!

[tscotty32]

this whole piece of music is just moving to me..

[erictjie]

is it hard to learn bansuri?i want to learn to play

[tscotty32]

like everything else..just takes some practicing. I have mine on its way that I ordered and I am looking forward to learning it.

[tscotty32]

a beautiful piece wonderfully performed..

[ullasrajchellappan1]

Nadha brahamam!!!!!!!!!

[markham123]

beauty.............. no words

[eliaweiss]

Hi Avi,

This Elia, we met in Pai (thailand)

good to see/hear you again.

Very nice! good picture, good sound, good playing good backround,

I love the way you used Zakir husen samples.

[Smood47]

Really nice work imenanilimili, it definitely has a Hariprasad feel to it but with a western twist. I would recommend getting rid of the guitar strings though. The other indian string instrument sounds perfect though.

[jgillawyer]

remember lady the first time we met,

something like this was on the tv....when i asked, you snubbed me....thus began my lifelong obsession! lajawaab, meri bano

[tscotty32]

beautifully spoken and goes nicely with the music. Enchanted words with an enchanted melody. I hope you always have such wonderous memories and spoken words. Our world lacks such culture and beauty I can only imagine what it would be like if more people could express beauty in music and words as you have done.. what a place it would be.. peace

[Nesibje]

dikkat edelim it's a BANSURI

[murderpunch]

helal be allah zaval vermesin

[alf2sfd]

i bought a ney but i can't sound it.how do you blow to sound?

[chechoquena]

good feeling my friend I play QUENA and is good interpretation... i am CHECHO (saludos desde

LIMA PERU) machu picchu

[sonnetg]

This is amazing.

Is the Tabla sequenced in the software or is that a live sample?

Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.

[imenanilimili]

hi sonnetg

well, the Tabla is a live sample. it's actually few samples from the same track(making music-with H.P.chaurasia and Zakir husen)combined together.

thanks

wish you the best day ever....

[Sinanthir]

@imenanilimili excuse but what is your bansuri tuned in? I like the sound of it very much but I know it isn't traditional E...please if you can get back to me ASAp 'cause I want to my bansuri already, thank you..

[rishalsawhney]

I bought a lovely flute from Ravi Shankar Mishra from Mysore last year. I know he makes both large flutes with dep sound as well as smaller higher pitched flutes. I think his website is ravimisra dot com and you can buy online. Good luck with the bansuri!

[mxedrioni]

E Natural base (170 EU). With this bansuri, the indian note Sa (three upper holes closed) is an E.

[breathsound]

Harsh Wardhan in New Delhi makes some of the best bansuri, as played by Pt. HariPrasad Chaurasia 3w's wardhan dot com

[pengchon]

where can I get one of those flut? how can I order one?

[serdardonmez]

the flute is called "NEY". it is an instrument originally used in the Middle East. I am sure you can look it up on the internet and find more info on it. shouldnt be hard to buy it online...

cheers

[snufkin789]

a ney is originally played vertically; in this case i would trust the title that says its a bansuri flute (as i got one too). a ney produces a much more windy and mourning sound and its blowing hole is just one of the two ends of the flute whereas a bansuri has a blowing hole like a classical western flute. the sound is obviously much more "fruity" how i call it than the desert-like sounding ney -

[ManikaranSahib]

I love this!

[Majikyn]

This is wonderful. Anyone know what raag/raga he's playing in?

[bhilaj]

Allegedely this is Rag Hamsadhvani Its Carnatic in origin but played in North Indian Music
