I must also state from my own experience that not all harsh's flutes are excellent and I have come across a few flutes on which I have struggled to get a good note above Dha in the middle register. I personally like both smooth and airy styles but I find the smooth playing (as with Anand or Subhash's flutes) more pleasant for melodies.
The flutes sound vibrant, very bamboo-like and give off beautiful tones but I must point out that his flutes have a very airy sound which is sometimes a good thing but can also sometimes be a bad thing because it makes it harder to play smooth sounding music. He is reputed to be the favourite bansuri maker for Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia and many of Chaurasia's students use his flutes also. Harsh Wardhan (pictured right): Also based in Delhi, Some of Harsh's flutes are of exceptional quality and are played by many professionals (particularly those who follow Hariprasad Chaurasia) and are considered by some to be the best quality flutes available. You can visit Anand Dhotre's website here: Anand Dhotre Take into account also that packaging, postage and paypal fees will be added to the total cost - the price for postage is sometimes quite high but this is because Anand uses courier to send the flutes which is why they come within days.
Bansuri plus#
For an E bass flute, you can expect to pay $120 (approx £72 at time of writing) plus postage. I have been continuously impressed with his flute as they have very neat, clear notes.Īnand's prices are also excellent. Orders can take up to 1-2 weeks to process, depending on how busy Anand is. Once posted from India, flutes arrive in perfect condition within literally 3-4 working days. In terms of customer service, I cannot fault Anand. Anand has satisfied me every time with his flutes.
Bansuri professional#
Ronu Majumdar sometimes gets his flutes from Anand Dhotre too along with other professional players. His bansuris have a beautiful sweet tone and are very melodious and easy to play. Anand Dhotre (pictured right) is another friendly maker based in Mumbai, India.
