Flutomatic and tuning Bamboo Bansuri (India flute)
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2019 11:46 pm
Hi,
I am trying to understand how an Indian Bansuri can be tuned. My understanding is that it is tuned to the Just Intonation method (more or less) with the flute I have currently in the key of E which is the top 3 fingerholes closed.
There are 2 pages which seem interesting. I have a few questions on each.
Page 1

This seems simple enough tho Iam not sure what should be the value of coverage?
I did make a PVC based bansuri from this and it seemed more or less in tune tho my talent in pvc working was bad.

What is Window to end ca. mean? What does Tip mean? Which fingering position determines the key ?
There seems to be a comprehensive tool but its too much for me
https://github.com/edwardkort/WWIDesign ... .3.0-FINAL
Perhaps experts can guide me here? Initially Iam just trying to validate the measurements off my existing bansuri which is more or less well tuned. There doesnt seem to be an easy way to contact the authors of the pages.

Vinod
