Hi Nilendu,
Your introduction of the Bansuri flute at the Tenth Annual Texas Bamboo Festival was incredible !
As per your request, we will keep looking for a variety of bamboo species suitable for bansuri flute construction, that has long internodal spacings.
It will also be interesting to evaluate other (available) species, and their potential for use with this style of flute construction.
Looking forward to your next visit !
Mark
PS What is the thickness of the flute walls ?
