Different makers create slightly different sounding flutes. Here are some professional, reputed flute makers who I have been using and who are the makers for many professionals. I give details of their flutes and quality and my experience as a customer. I would recommend Anand or Subhash's flutes for beginners over other makers as they are easier to play.
When buying a flute from the makers below, feel free to tell the maker you are a friend of Craig or that you got their details from www. Subhash Thakur : pictured right Subhash is an excellent and very friendly flute maker based in Delhi.
Subhash and his team make excellent professional quality flutes with nice mellow, smooth sounds and perfect tuning. Subhash has years of experience as a flute maker and offers excellent service and his prices are reasonable compared with some makers.
Once making an order with Subhash, you will usually get the professional flute in the post, all nicely wrapped and protected within a week or so - the flute is usually dispatched the day after placing an order, given that Subhash has a good stock of flutes he makes.
His service is very fast and efficient, probably the fastest of all makers listed. Subhash is Ronu Majumdar's favourite flute maker. R Rahman and one of the leading flutists in the Indian film industry. Pictures of Subhash's flutes below. Subhash is a very trustworthy maker and a good man. Anand Dhotre pictured right is another friendly maker based in Mumbai, India. Anand's flutes are of very high quality. His bansuris have a beautiful sweet tone and are very melodious and easy to play. Ronu Majumdar sometimes gets his flutes from Anand Dhotre too along with other professional players.
Anand has satisfied me every time with his flutes. 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. He is reputed to be the favourite bansuri maker for Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia and many of Chaurasia's students use his flutes also.
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. Some players prefer the airy sound. 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. 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.
Sometimes Harsh also sells flutes which are second hand for the same price as if they were new but will not tell you that. If you meet him in person, select with great care. Harsh's flutes sound quite different to other makers' and although they have a beautiful unique airy sound, sometimes the sound on them is not as clean and soft as on other makers' flutes but this is really my personal opinion.
I do happily keep some of Harsh's flutes as well as flutes from other makers and switch depending on the style of music I wish to play. The bamboo Harsh uses is quite beautiful - I don't know where he gets it from but it's quite unique compared with the bamboo I have seen from other users, sometimes darker in colour and with a beautiful texture. The service is not as fast as Subhash or Anand Dhotre's. Delivery can take from 2 weeks to a month or more since Harsh does not use courier post.
The bigger flutes seem to sound better than the smaller ones from Harsh in my opinion - at least from the ones I have tried so if going for medium or alto flutes anything higher than an A bass , I would recommend using a different maker such as Anand Dhotre or Subhash but again this is just in my own opinion. Harsh's flutes are rather expensive in my opinion his prices are unjustified and probably due to pride from selling to Chaurasia. Gururaj Sabannavar Certified Buyer 3months ago.
