The
Indian Bamboo Flute also known as bansuri or murali is
one of the oldest musical instruments of India,
developed independently of the Western flute. This wind
instrument is a simple cylindrical tube made of bamboo
of uniform bore with number of holes. The flutes made in
India are of different kinds and their lengths and
number of holes varies. The flute is handled in oblique
position and air is blown with upper lip into the main
hole. Thumbs are used to hold the flute in position
while the fingers are used to manipulate the finger
holes. Different octaves are produced by covering the
holes with the fingers.
