Bansuri Bamboo Flute

Steve Gorn - Bansuri Bamboo Flute

Originally recorded during 1980 - 1982.

From the back cover:

This is a recording of two classical Indian ragas, with a mysterious and evocative sound, played on solo bansuri flute. These ragas, originally composed to be played in the deep night and at sunrise, are traditionally associated with contemplation, meditation and devotion.

From the liner notes:

The bansuri is a transverse bamboo flute from North India known to date back over two thousand years. Bansuri music and playing techniques are traditionally handed down from master to student, and the flutes themselves appear in many sizes and lengths. They normally have seven holes, and subtle variations in pitch may be obtained by partially covering the open holes.
