Made 2 E bass bansuris from Raju Salve . His lower part dimensions (sa ni dha pa ) are so good that I first time felt very fulfilled to play lower dhaiwat with strong volume and without any blowing adjustments. He is curious to experiment new things. We made E bass by kieeping intact my dimensions of upper part and applying his dimensions for lower part. I give him best wishes to make such new experiments and give good bansuris to flute players.

Wonderful. I have purchaged many flutes from you and every time you surprised me with your quality. And after watching this flute I can say you are the best flute maker I have ever know. You have shaped and developed this flute beautifully. This is the best flute if I will compare with the flutes available in India by various makers with high price. I will request all flute buyers that please don't go with the catchy name and high price to get best flute. Just call Mr. Raj Salve and your search for best flute will be complete. Absolutely I can vouch for it. He's one of the best flutemakers in India. He puts in the same efforts and passion in each and every flute he crafts. I suggest all the flute buyers to just give it a try for his flutes and I bet you won't regret it. Thanks, Mr. Raju Salve.

It is nice to see a flute maker putting so much thoughts into creating his instruments. I hope other flute makers will follow your example. Any serious flutist should have his flute custom made so that the muscles of his fingers, hands, shoulders, neck relax as much as possible. It is only when they are relaxed there will be more flexibility to do what you want. Every person's fingers, hands, grip, hole covering method is unique. So only after a detailed study of the player's finger and hand mechanics can a very comfortable flute be made. Customizing a flute to suit a particular individual will take time and effort (and hence cost also) but is well worth it in the end, rather than buying an off-the-shelf product.
