The Process
Bamboo from India, seasoned for over 10 Years, elevated through Rare Gemstones, Handcarved Lip Rests for Improved acoustics, Metal Rings at the ends for reinforcement, Comfortable Finger Hole Layouts, Glass Finishes, and Japanese Threading to create a Divine Bansuri
- a Licht Bansuri
Every single flute is made with a unique vision and design, for the person who is receiving the instrument. After purchase, I offer a Videocall to get to know each other, so that the exact vision for your instrument is created. Based on this, I select the Bamboo, each one with its own marbling and grain, sound quality, and personality. Then the crafting process begins, turning the inspiration into a reality.
