 FAQ

# How do I get a first sound on the bansuri?

 Updated 6 November 2026

 

On Foundation bansuri you get a first sound by directing a steady air stream across the blowing hole until a clear tone sounds. Your teacher shows you the hold first.

The topic closes when you sound a clear tone on three attempts out of four, each lasting 4 seconds without breath noise covering it. You then hold Sa with the top three holes closed.
