DETAILED DESCRIPTION
TUNING ACCURACY
tuned with Tanpura at A=440Hz in Just Temperament (Hindustani Classical, SA= First 3 holes closed)
All the Direct Blown Flutes are tuned in Equal Temperament (Followed by Western Music) which lets one play more than one key (First/root note).
Tuning is the most crucial aspect of Indian Classical music or any style of music for that matter. Using a digital tuner or app is not the right way to check the tuning. You should check it with the help of tanpura or ask your mentor to check it for you.
NO MAINTAINANCE
Your PVC Fiber Bansuri will not be damaged by direct Sunlight, Moisture, Dry weather, and sudden shift in temperature. Basically, no maintenance needed at all.
If your Bansuri has any kind of dirt or dust, inside or outside the Bansuri, don't worry, wash it with water and it will be as good as new without affecting its durability or tuning.
If your Bansuri falls down on the floor from a standing position, no Problem, it can withstand a fall from a height of 20 feet
If you accidently step on it, no problem, it will not split-open or crack.
If you decide to play it after 2 years, no problem, it wouldn’t change its shape nor the tuning.
Before you receive your Bansuri, it has gone through many quality control check points such as Material Quality, Tuning Accuracy, Threading Tightness, Polishing, Cracks & Leakages, Durability and an Overall Check Up.
LIP-PLATE & ENHANCED SOUND
The Lip-Plate attachment for side-blown flutes will make it effortless to blow your Bansuri. So, you don't have to put in hours to learn blowing technique. Lip-Plate lets one sustain the notes longer in a single breath and helps produce a warm tone. The other advantage it gives is that your lips automatically shape themselves to the position which requires to create the sound. This makes learning much easier for people who have just started their musical journey.
It also enhances the tone quality,balances the lower and higher octave volume and prominently lessens the hissing airy sound.
In Addition, flutes with Lip-Plate requires 30% less air pressure while blowing compared to a non-Lip-Plate flute.

EXTRA HOLE FOR EXTRA PERFORMANCE
NO HEALTH RISK
PVC is a versatile material that offers many possible applications, these include; Window frames, drainage pipe, water service pipe, medical devices, blood storage bags, cable and wire insulation, resilient flooring, roofing membranes, stationary, automotive interiors and seat coverings, fashion and footwear, food packaging, credit cards, vinyl records, synthetic leather and other coated fabrics. In fact, coronary artery stent which are used to expand coronary arteries inside the heart are made from plastic as well.
It is true that PVC releases toxins when it is burned but so does bamboo such as cyanogenic glycosides and any other material for that matter. However, please note that neither PVC nor bamboo is dangerous if they don’t cross their burning point. Standard PVC can withstand temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
