The bamboo flute blew me away. Wood is magical 😊

I have a flute that I bought maybe 40 years ago. From you I have found it's kind. It's an Indian bansuri. I am old, 75, and so is the flute. I've had a guitar off and on, mostly on, for 60 years, but never thought to take playing more or less seriously until last summer, after a mild heart attack. I will be trying to better understand both instruments and music theory in the future. Thanks for the info! Peace.

The bamboo and wood flute sounds like something come from nature, that you are standing in a wide place with waterfall, river, forest,... All of them are singing for you... Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand my description.

I felt the same...

I liked the sound of the Bunsuri the best and the subtle pitch fluctuations as your fingers covered the tone holes. I would think the different shapes of the flutes will also impact on the sound, along with mechanical pads versus just fingers closing the tone holes. More international flutes ... yes please.

I’ve never seen a glass flute before. It looks and sounds beautiful.

The concert flute obviously had the most useful and versatile tone, but the least character. I was surprised by the glass flute which had a lot of character.

There are a variety of specialty head joints for the concert flute, such as wooden or even one that buzzes like a Chinese Dizi. These can be easily swapped for instant character!

The glass/Hall flute was a bit more "breathy" and lacks the clarity of the Boehm (silver) flute (opaque material notwithstanding). It's counter intuitive but the Boehm flute actually has more audible higher harmonics and in a sense is more "rich" than the Hall flute.

That's not exactly true. It depends on what you are playing. I play all of them and more, and I can assure you that: there is not perfect instrument for everything or even almost everything: each instrument its field.

Very nicely done, Ashley! Although each has their own color, I think the most surprising sound for me came from the glass flute. I'm not sure I can describe the reason why, but it had a n intimate, maybe lonesome sound to it. The Bansuri was really interesting as well. I could visualize both of these being used in dramatic writing such as film.

Played by you, they all sound great! Thanks for this brief, but straight to the point video. Exactly what I was looking for. 🙏💖

I am a bit biased towards bansuri (bamboo) because I play it. However, it also depends on who is playing... you played all the flutes so well.

Thank you so much for this demonstration. I've been curious about getting into some flavour of woodwind/flute. I am particularly drawn to instruments that have a more... ethereal quality to them so this demonstration was extremely helpful to me! I particularly liked the glass and wood ones.

Glass flute really surprised me but bamboo one was probably my favourite.

I love the Bamboo instrument soft and clear 😍

The Irish flute is the best looking.

I like the glass sound and the 1st one 👌 bansuri is good too and the last one

Very nice and useful video. Thanks, Ashley!

Thank you so much for doing this video. It was wonderful to hear the different tones. In this order, I liked the Irish flute, silver flute, glass flute, bamboo flute. I have the Hall flute in Key D and am making progress on it. I am truly enjoying this new instrument to me (I play guitar and harp). Again, thank you.

Ive got to say bamboo is my favorite material. I just feel really connected to the tone of bamboo. My favorite instrument I have is my Native american flute made of bamboo. It's usually made of wood, but bamboo gives it such a warm, and soulful tone. Yes, Im in love with bamboo. I'm a human panda 😂.

Hi Ashley, thank you for this very nice comparison! I am looking for a comparison and evaluation between the different woods used in the Irish flute making. Thank you!

thanks for your video Ashley!

Thank you ma'am very good presentation 😊 but I loved the natural vibration of bansuri

Thank you for this very nice sharing ! Bamboo is my favourite 🙂

Thank you so much and the melody is my childhood Familia. The metal seems to capture my rhythm and trend

All beautiful and so satisfying to the ear. I for some reason on first impression,,, liked the overall tone and character of the Irish flute. I make and play Native American style flutes, and side blown Japanese four hole flutes. I would love to try another type and have been interested in Japanese salkehitchie. Cost of a good quality one is a deterent. I will try my hand at makeing one, provided I can find good bamboo. Thank you. I enjoyed the comparison.

The bansuri❤️❤️❤️

The bansuri reminds me of the wind, flowing free from the skies

They are have a unique purpose and skill set. Bamboo/wood sound warm and alive.

All flute Sound is very beautiful ♥️

What scale bansuri flute do you use in this video? In your other videos I saw you used other scales as well, I love your channel! 😍 Since I was a kid, I played the western (silver) flute. Now that I am being bored in India, I bought a C and a G scale bansuri to keep me occupied. The Irish flute has always been on my wishlist and the Chinese one since a little while too. You inspired me to just go for it and try all these instruments from all over the world!

I got everything in my collection accept the irish flute, I love the wood tone, I mean all flutes are beautiful.

My fav is silver flute with inexpensive ($50) wooden head joint (from eBay) plays perfectly. I imitate Bansuri style on it and sounds great. I even got a cheap wooden Shakuhatchi flute headjoint to sound more Japanese flavor - more airy woody tone. Many possibilities with silver flute.

This is Awsome Ashley!!!!

Thanks so much ! Favorite was silver but I can imagine uses for each . I ve heard amazing recorders in 20th century music . Any sophisticated composers written any concerti for it I wonder ? Gawd ! A crystal-glass flute . Gotta see who makes them . What a big difference from the clarity of the silver flute ! I'm a composer found this helpful . Film composers especially need to n know this : would help with eras and ethnology .

The glass flute just feels *Deep and lonely like the abyss*

Indian bamboo flute is nice flute I like very much thank you.

0:23 Sorry, it's not the material but rather the flute *design* that is the largest determinant of a flute's timbre (notwithstanding the player's ability). Unlike a string instrument, the flute's body or head are not anything like a soundboard. It is the air column inside the flute that is vibrating. The flute's chimney shape, blowing edge and depth are very significant as well as whether the bore is conical or straight. The next biggest aspect is the quality of the flute, including the smoothness of the bore and the seal of the keys and the joints. Speaking of the flute player's ability, you still need to find the optimal embouchure for your Irish flute, which is what I play; it's a bit different than a Boehm system flute. Thanks for the demo.

The difference in tone is not so much the material but the flute body shape, thickness, the lip plate or hole and other factors not related to what the flute is made of. Clearly the silver flute has more power, is brighter and stays in tune better because it has an infinitely more sophisticated mechanism, lip plate, shape, key system, tone holes and other advantages.

Bansuri is fav 🥰🥰

I barely could tell the difference lmao only bansuri sounded different to me cause I play it a little

Where can I buy the Bamboo flute?

Brava, your videos are very interesting! I kindly ask you if the bansuri you play is cut in D, like the Irish flute and if it is easy to close the last hole with the ring finger of the right hand. Thanks.

@AshleyJarmack

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thanks so much for watching. The lowest note on the flute is D, but bansuri makers usually name the tonic as 3 fingers down instead of all 6. Therefore this flute is sold as a flute in G, but can easily be played in either D or G. I have no problem closing the last hole with my ring finger, but I use pipers grip to play many of my instruments. If one is coming from a classical flute background, a person might find it a bit more difficult to cover the finger holes as the bansuris get larger.

I know this video is old. But I am very curious. My kiddo is 11 she loves the bamboo flute but has no desire to play the silver band one. Here in Canada we force every kid to play an instrument at grade 5. She has zero interest in any other instrument. Even to the point that she said she wants to skip band(not possible its a forced class) So I asked the school if she could just switch to bamboo/dizi flute, still side playing. They are not sure, because they do not think the sheet music will work for her. Can I ask, since I can't seem to find the info anywhere else. Can you just use the sheet music from your band flute(silver one) to the bamboo one easily? Or is it like too much effort for an 11yr old to learn and do on her own, since the band teacher doesn't want to help.

@AshleyJarmack

Ай бұрын

Hi! I'm happy to answer your question. 🙂My question to you is, is there a reason she has to play flute? Maybe there's another instrument she'd rather try. In regard to the question about playing bansuri or dizi in band, sadly I don't think that would work for a few different reasons. Firstly, they have a diatonic not chromatic scale. That basically means that she wouldn't have access to all the pitches she would need to be successful in band. You can buy flutes in different keys, but she (and her teachers) would have to know how to change what holes to cover and leave open on the flute to accommodate playing in various keys. For instance, on one flute, covering all 6 finger holes could sound a D, while on about it would sound a Bb and on and on. I don't think that the teachers would be able to help her out with an instrument they're not familiar with, especially with so many students in the room. Secondly, there is a different way to hold ones fingers/hands when playing that is completely different from the orchestral flute. Playing it with the same finger position as orchestral flute can be quite difficult. Thirdly, we can only play flutes that are as low as the stretch of our fingers allows. I am quite familiar with beginning band books. She might need to play in a different octave from the rest of the flutes because she might not be able to reach the finger holes of the flutes that would play the correct note in the appropriate octave. Finally, circling back to what I first asked, does she have to play flute? The reason I ask is because the trickiest thing about flute is getting the initial sound. If she's not at all motivated to try and practice until she gets sound, she might become very frustrated and in for a long year. Literally any other instrument is easier to get an initial sound on...even if it's a...not good sound. Heh. It's a better place to start than with the frustration of not being able to get a sound at all. I'm sorry not have a more positive answer for you. I wish I could say, YES this absolutely a solution for beginning band. Wishing you and your kiddo all the best.

Ashley: "Subscribe if you want to hear more world instruments" Me: *hurriedly smashes subscribe" So cool, I'm excited to hear more!

Bamboo flute Is best👌👌

Concert flute all day.

I like wood and bamboo...less vibration than the metal and glass ones.

either it's me or my shitty laptop stereo speakers, but to me, they all sound almost identical to each other, what detail am I missing?

The title is a bit misleading, material has neglegible effect on the tone. What makes the difference is the geometry of the instrument (bore, hole size, headjoint, etc.), which shapes the way the air on the inside resonates.

yes, I think this is absolutely correct. The big influences will be embouchure hole shape / size, tone hole sizes and positioning - other things having significantly less effect. Fun to hear a number of different flutes but nothing to do with materials.
