FS: Alghoza(double whistle from India), Bansuri

Post by O_Gaiteiro_do_Chicago »

I was in India all of last summer and brought back some flutes and am looking to sell some of the duplicates that I have. First on my list are the alghoza, not so well known outside of India but they really deserve more attention. They are essentially two whistles, one acts as a drone, the other plays the melody and you circular breathe to keep em both going. I have two I am selling, both in E. The lighter colored one in the pic is made by Mohanlal Lohar out of kher wood $180. The darker one is made by Tagaram Bhil out of sheesham $220.
Also available is an E bass bansuri, I cannot recall the name of the maker unfortunately. It's a professional flute and is dead on in tune and has a nice powerful tone $80.
