You can only get a few bars in on a straight stretch of road, by steering with your knee. Providing no other cars are comming of course. It is not the safest or smartest thing to do I guess, but you can't live life in a bubble. :boggle: I like to jam In a traffic jam It sure gets the horns a blowin...

7 holes? It sounds like you may have a bansuri which is a whole different game of cricket from Irish flute. The bansuri scale starts with the first three holes covered (the one closest to where you blow) and goes up from there using half-holing and such. ...... Going from top to bottom is easier fo...

I have been very taken with the middle eastern scales lately, namely the Hungarian minor, and have made a few whistles in the key of A. These instruments play the tonic with three holes closed so there are three notes below the tonic. ..... And what is the Hungarian Minor please? What are the notes...

Thanks for the great site. These people probably have the deepest understanding of the flute, and what one can do with it, in human history. These are, by the way, simple system instruments. But the 'simple folk flute' in India is something as special as Celtic flute, and folk tunes and religious c...

........What I am talking about: what I've heard called the gypsy scale, like C D Eb F G Ab Bnat C (look at the interval and a half jump from Ab to Bnat). ......... In the western system this is called the harmonic minor scale. You can easily get this starting at the 2 finger Mixolydian note and pr...

........... ascending in the lydian mode, (in C this would mean F# instead of F natural), a scale produced on the bansuri by assigning the third hole down as the root note. Or, from the bell note, ascending in the aeolian mode. [excerpt] 1. This isn't unique to bansuri. Any simple system flute will...

Dear Lisa regarding your first post in this thread It appears to me you are projecting much as being unique to eastern music when it is not so. As a hindustani musician who plays (with :) ) both keyless Irish flute and simple system bansuri-s, Sweetheart flageolet etc (as well as custom made flutes ...
