Hello everyone!

I would like to know which kind of flute (bansuri or the steel flute) is easier to play? are they both produce same sounds/tones or different?

Thanks

Hi,

I am a beginner at learning bansuri.
I have recently wanted to learn bansuri.

I bought myself a G type, transverse (side-blown) 6 holed bansuri.
Its a decent one and I think it plays well.

I have been practicing to blow the bansuri for last few days and have successfully done it, I guess. Next I wished to learn how to play Sa-Re-ga-Ma... on the flute. I wish to learn the flute in a formal way, whereby I learn to play all the tones and then the raagas.

I have searced a whole lot on the internet looking for some websites which guide me to a correct fingering chart for my type of flute. Unfortunately I did not have much luck in that. If found a couple of sites as well

As I am new to the music world, I could not judge which of these is correct for the bansuri that I have bought for myself.

If some one could guide me to the correct fingering techniques to play my side-blown 6 holed flute, it will be extremely kind of you.

Thanks and Regards,
Rahul
