Flute Review | Punam Flute | Kanti Flute | Kanha Flutes | Anand Dhotre Flute | Deepak Soni Flute 

Thank You sir for taking time and commenting back. :) Your flute needs no introduction and is one of the best available. I understood from lots of folks in below comments that customization is available on request now :) Looks like my request was somehow missed when i bought !!

East or West...Punam flute is the best

Thank you Nikhil. I am so glad you found it useful. Stay connected :)

Dhanywad. :) I am so glad you liked it.

Great 👍

Thanks Bhavesh. Kanti Bhai's flutes are flawless and affordable at the same time :)

How to purchase?

@@ChandradeepFlute please recommend one flute,I am an beginner,left handed..budget within 2000..

Thank you Nikhilesh :) Vinayak flute is in the market for quite some time now and is giving affordable flutes too. No idea on shivz musical flutes though. If you are planning to buy their flutes, wait till you have some reviews out :) Vinayak flutes you can surely go for. :) Hope that helps !!

Hey Zaba, i am so glad that you have started learning hindi just so that you can learn flute. That's amazing. I wish you all the luck for your journey towards flute learning as well as learning Hindi :) Namaste aur aapka Swagat hai :)

@@ChandradeepFlute You know, it all started with the flute, my journey to begin learning hindi that is. And once I began learning, I realized, it would become a skill that I would continue to work on for the rest of my life. And not only for reasons of learning more about bansuri, but also I sing as well and would love to learn more about that. My favorites (though they have both passed away) are Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Jasraj. But I also plan to move to India someday, perhaps even teach English, maybe start a family over there. So hindi is very important in many aspects to me :)

@@shanepesanka6292 wow. That’s great. See you soon then 😄😄

My pleasure 😊

It's my pleasure ! Hari Om

How to get them???

I have been learning for few years and under a guidance of a guru

Glad it was helpful Rajendra :)

It's my pleasure

Sandip ji, ye sab aapki practice pe depend karta hai. But at least 2 saal ka riyaz hona chahiye , taki aapko bhairavi ke swaro ki shrutiya samajhe. :)

I have been practicing for quite sometime now. Everyone has their own grasping power !!

Hey Shrishail, no idea abou this. May be you can check with your flute maker just to be safe :)

Hi RS, C flute from any of the maker would be almost same and you cannot be wrong with any of them. For kanha and anand dhotre flutes, try to call them. Website is mostly for international sales. Deepak's C flute is 1500 with cover and now he is running a sale as well. I would also recommend you to check Digambar flute and specially the heat treated one. They are good too. Let me know if you want to know more.

Thanks Ramchandra ji. I don't have mukund flutes yet, but will surely try to make one as and when i get his flute. I have explained about bamboo quality in my other reviews of swara and digambar. Do check those.

Makarand it all depends on how well its tuned. So natural node shouldn't affect the quality as such.

Glad you liked it Anmol :)

Hi Kim, If you already have C and G bass , E bass is obviously should be next one. Remaining ones can be based on your needs. These flutes are enough to practice and play songs and raags. If you have to accompany a band or wanna play on songs karaokes then you need all scales 🙂

Hi Guru, Thanks for the wonderful comment. I am so glad you liked the video and the way i covered it. Yes kanti bhai's flute cost just 4500 with cover and courier charges. For now i have the flutes of these 5 makers and i have got lots of comments to cover the reviews of other makers as well. You know the cost of flutes :P and buying from all the makers is really tough. Having said that, i am surely planning to make reviews of less known makers so that people will get to know their brands as well. Stay tuned and stay connected :)

@@ChandradeepFlute Yeah I understand. Some flutes, especially Mukund, Adharvenu, Anubodh and Harshwardhan flutes are damn expensive. I even saw one guy in the USA Geoffrey Ellis who makes Bansuri from Hardwood and sells them for $350 - $400. I don't blame the flute makers for their price as these days there is so much demand for the flutes and they also have to meet with many costs in making and they have to bear with so much damage when they order a lot of bamboo from Assam and other places. But some flutes are quite expensive and it is good that before investing we should know it is worth spending that much money. And there have come some new makers who are making very good quality flutes and with very reasonable prices. I appreciate that you are reviewing flutes from these less known people including both positive and negative aspects and it greatly helps the customers to buy from them. Apart from the flute all that matters is how much we practice and how much control we have on our breath. Look forward to seeing more videos from you. Thanks

@@guru4017 Absolutely well said. To be frank with you the cost of the bamboo varies from 50-100 per piece depending on the diameter of the bamboo. The new entrants like deepak soni flutes , vinayak flutes, bakale etc first need to increase the base in the market , post which they can challenge the already established players. For the beginners there is absolutely no harm in going with these makers. The other established players also get the bamboo at similar cost , however there may be some aspects like superior bamboo over the new entrants. No doubts the harshwardhan flutes cost around 14-15k for E bass. Such flutes are required more from concert perspective and hence the maestros prefer his flutes. Someday, for sure will get one and review :)

I have been learning Bansuri for a few years now on E base. Want to buy another Bansuri E base, should I get fried Bansuri or normal Bansuri please ?

Pro metronome and iTablaPro

Congrats. Happy learning ✌🏻

Glad you liked it

You can buy one from Kanti bhai, his phone number is in the description. You can also try Anand Dhotre or Swara flutes. Both are quite good Details are in the description

High - Harshvardhan, Digambar Medium - Anand Dhotre, Kanti Bhai Low - Swara Flute

I will check it out. As of now i do not have any of his flutes.

Yes mujhe bhi unki flutes pasand aayi hai isliye maine bhi unse aur flutes kharidi. Aur abhi wo industry me naye hai isliye flutes ka price kam hai. Aage aur badhe sakte hai :)

Hi sanch, that is the correct way to place the holes for accurate tuning. i would recommend you to go for a smaller flute say F or F# and then move to E bass. Initially its difficult but then it would be easy

You're welcome 😊 Shreyas

No, sorry

No ideally it should not make much of a difference , if the tonality of the flute is correct.

Thanks @@ChandradeepFlute

C# middle G# bass

Most welcome

Hey Ariyaman, Yes kanti bhai uses wooden stopper in all flutes. He does all sort of modifications and customisations. Pancham hole can also be added. Just call him and confirm the specifications.

Thank You :)

Thanks for sharing. I did not buy from amazon. I had placed order directly on punam website and dropped them an email for customisation. Also, called them. However, they did not customise. But i can see now lots of folks have got their flutes customised.

Check this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--yDu4FO--Sw.html

Kanti bhai as i have also mentioned in the video :)

Namaste Sandip ji. Wo depend karta hai ki kitna bend hai. Agar thoda bend hai to koi issue nahi hota, agar bohot jyada bend hai to thoda farak pad sakta hai.

Thanks a lot Aniket😊 Yes there was no comparison between flutes as such. Kanti bhai flutes are really good. :) Just that deepak ji's flutes are affordable too.

@@ChandradeepFlute can i get your phone number or instagram id so that i can contact you

@@aniketrawat6605 you can contact me on instagram @chandradeepflute? Lets connect on insta.

Appreciate your comment about the fluet, i am kantibhai's son.

Thanks Swapnesh. Good suggestion. I shall make it !!

Thank you Anushree :)

Thank you chandrashekhar ji :) Glad it was helpful!

Krish that is malgudi days. you will find lots of tutorials for that

@@ChandradeepFlute okkk

How's your experience so far???

@@hakunamatata5342 It's too good! I say it's on par with Punam flutes.

Most welcome

Hi Aditya, Maine is video me bataya hai. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--yDu4FO--Sw.html

Go for Kanti bhai flute. They are the best

I am assuming you want to play by yourself !! If that is the case then C middle flute is a good to start with, however its not used for CLASSICAL practice as its difficult to bear the sound of small flutes for longer hours. If you want to learn from a teacher then buy one according to his advice.

Cool.

I would suggest go for kanti bhai flute. They are best

Hey kapil, swara flute maker satyabrata is from bangalore. Check my swara flute review for more info. Currently he is in his hometown in orissa though. For 8 year old, D middle or C# middle should be good to start with.

kanti bhai flutes are good

Theek hai Sandip ji, mai koi song ka video tutorial banaunga using G bass or G# bass. :)

Sure :)

Sure will try 🙏🏻

Thank you so much 😀 What is DP flute?

@@ChandradeepFlute bro it's by Mr.Dinesh Sharma, I saw quite many videos and heard good reviews about his flute. I am will me more the thankful if u can anyways review his flute as well.

@@believeyou8530 Ok. Thanks for confirming. There has been requests to covers lots of other makers too. I shall try to cover as many as i can :)

Hi agravat, E bass flute is a long term flute and very important one to practice classical music. I would suggest you to go by your guruji's decision. I personally would recommend to wait and collect funds to buy a good quality long term flute. My top recommendations would be Digambar or Anand Dhotre both of premium range or Kanti Bhai or Swara flute in medium range.

Dhanyavaad 🙏

Carbon fiber authentic is with Parth sarkar ji only. rest all are not good

C# or C middle

Namste Sharad ji, G scale is a scale in Musical world. G bass in terms of flute is a Bass version of G scale flute. G natural is same as G scale.

Kanti bhai 😀

Kanti bhai flute without a doubt

Already replied on insta

Go for Kanti bhai's flute. One of the best in the market

Check on tuner app

Hey Mohak, No i haven't tried his flutes yet. However, I may get my hands on them soon :)

Hi, Depends on which scale flute you are buying. If its small flute like C, all of them costs same. Whereas if its Bass flute you are looking for, deepak flute is cheapest option

Haven't heard of this !! I don't recommend buying a cheap flute though

Both are good :) choose one you like most

He stays in remote area and may be some nw issues. Drop a whatsapp to him or you can also call on 022-26232724

It all depends on the scale of the song you are playing. Having said that, if you want a good bass and dont wanna go for E bass, i would suggest to go for F# or F bass

Its just free flow tune, there is no song as such

Hey there, Kanti bhai is recommended. I would also suggest Parth Sarkar flutes. He is one of the best flute makers who is an equally good flute player. And if you wish to save on money then Deepak Soni's flutes are good too :) Hope that helps !!

@@ChandradeepFlute Thanks for you elaborate reply Chandradeep! Really thankful. I had been playing flute on and off for some years now but I don't have much variants of flute. I have a C middle scale, and some others. But I really want to have one base flute other than G# too, what would you recommend?

@@dark1487 general rule of thumb is 1) C/C# ( when we buy a flute on our own, play it for a bit , but can't use it for prolong raag practice or use it as a technique development flute) 2) Enters G#/G bass flutes. The best of both worlds. This can be your starting flute or a slow progression post C/C#. You can do techniques riyaz, play songs, raags etc 3) Now that you have some skills, enters the best one to practice classical and play classical is E bass. If you have crossed this ladder, then you can easily start collecting the remaining ones like F,F# and others, depends on what and how you want to use them.

@@ChandradeepFlute Thanks a lot man! For investing your time, really grateful :). I am gonna go with E bass now ( eeks, if I can hold it properly :P). Looking forward for more videos and wish you good luck!

Hi Adi, Deepak soni ji provide karte hai threads. Talk to him. His number is in description.

Thanks again!

Go for anyone of these. Usually C flute is often crafted beautifully by all makers.

@@ChandradeepFlute yo man ! Awesome dedication...going for punam

Best but costly

I cannot suggest any specific flute. You need to make your choice :) I can only show what i have

Go for kanti bhai flute

Both are good actually. I prefer Kanti bhai though

Few

Both are good. I would have bought Kanha though.

Hey Gautam nice to hear that. Yes deepak ji's flute are really good. People should definitely try it out. :)

@@ChandradeepFlute yes sir thanks for making this video its really helpful to beginners

@@14grs so glad.

Ok,so can buy Deepak Soni ji flute

Ya his flutes are really good and affordable :)

Never heard of

G# bass

Thanks a lot Thakur Ji :)

Just buy normal flutes. There isnt much difference as such.
