Bansuri Flute. Made by Banjira.
Professional Bansuri flute in A#/Bb, approximately 22 inches in length. The Professional Bansuri has a mouthpiece that is played in a similar way as the western transverse flute.

The dominate hand plays the lower three holes. The seventh hole is optional and rarely played. Its main purpose is to give greater accuracy in the upper octaves. It may be played on the rare occasion when you need to play the Ni in the lower octave.

It can happen that they sometimes sound slightly out of tune to the western ear.
