The bamboo flute blew me away. Wood is magical 😊
Just making timestamps for myself to really here the difference after each other
00:52 Sterling Silver
01:29 Glass
02:07 Bamboo
02:44 Wood
I think bamboo is my favorite!
Thanks for posting this hear!
Normal el cheapo earbuds make it hard to tell
Bamboo Bansuri sounds so warm and really touches hearts
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.
❤😮😊
I love meditation' although' all flutes sounded beautiful' my favourite' for my purposes' it would have' to be the bansuri' its has that outside nature sound which it retains' in' the bamboo' itself excellent🙏
Thanks that's what I'm looking for
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.
ur gucci bro.
Great
I felt the same...
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.
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.
Same I was impressed by how deep and mellow the glass sounded
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. 🙏💖
Glass flute really surprised me but bamboo one was probably my favourite.
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.
Very nice and useful video. Thanks, Ashley!
I love the Bamboo instrument soft and clear 😍
I like the glass sound and the 1st one 👌 bansuri is good too and the last one
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.
thanks for your video Ashley!
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!
Thank you for this very nice sharing !
Bamboo is my favourite 🙂
Thank you ma'am very good presentation 😊 but I loved the natural vibration of bansuri
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 and the melody is my childhood Familia. The metal seems to capture my rhythm and trend
All flute Sound is very beautiful ♥️
The bansuri reminds me of the wind, flowing free from the skies
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 Irish flute is the best looking.
I got everything in my collection accept the irish flute, I love the wood tone, I mean all flutes are 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!
Awesome Video + OMG you look so gorgeous! and i wonder where did you buy these flutes?
They are have a unique purpose and skill set. Bamboo/wood sound warm and alive.
Alll of them 😍🤩
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.
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 thanks for the nice calm Video, i liked the Bansuri the most. Can you tell me which it was E ?
Great video!! My fav was the silver for this one...!! Thanks for sharing...
01airbender thanks for watching 😁👍
Hi Ashley, thank you for the demonstration. What Hz is your Irish wooden flute?
They all sound great but the bamboo sounds very acient thereby making it heart warming😊
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 .
This is Awsome Ashley!!!!
Tomorrow Mingtian thanks so much!! 🥰
Omg basuri much relaxing and much 💕
I can't really say which one was my favourite, they all sounded great!
Honestly, they each have a unique color and sound. The second, glass, one surprised me the most. I was expecting something with a bunch of timbre. It sounds really pretty, though.
I want to know what are you playing i really loved it
Absolutely beautiful! Is the fingering on each flute different or the smae as the silver flute?
Thanks so much. If you purchase flutes where D is 6 fingers down, then the fingerings are very similar but a few are different
Wow i like all flute tuniga
Good job Ashley ❤️❤️❤️
The bansuri❤️❤️❤️
May I ask what Melody is that that's beautiful brings back my memories of my grandma grandma
which is harder to play? brass flute, or wooden?
i only recently got into playing the brass flute so i got an old one from a relative who used to play it, and now somehow it's broken (i've gone through quite a bit of repair videos by this point), so i was thinking of either buying a wooden flute or getting this one repaired. what should i do, based on my earlier question??? can anyone help? it would be highly appreciated considering i have like 20 dollars lol.
the first flute sound is awesome, I feel a lot of difference
Would you like to review the flutes from asia? Like dizi and shakuhachi
Yup! I have one up with shakuhachi, xiao, danso and quenacho. More dizi videos are coming soon.
The glass one...... I felt like that tune was so Clam, may be with a bit of lonesomeness. But I really liked it.
Bamboo flutes are the true sound of nature.
I love the song
Indian bamboo flute is nice flute I like very much thank you.
The glass flute just feels
*Deep and lonely like the abyss*
Crystal!
Consciousness♾
May Peace Be With You.
Where can I buy a bansuri like this one?
I like irish one.
I love all flute, the concert is wonderful penetration tone, the cristal wide warm, the bansuri sub bass clear note, and irish sweet natural wood sound, i would ask you if possible compare the bansuri versus Xiao dong the Similar Tune because the material the diameter and the extension it s very similar, and internet not exist the compare of this flute togheter, i hope listen difference from your fingers thanks
Thank you. Is the embouchure hole on the Irish flute bigger than the concert flute
Generally, the hole on the simple-system "Irish" flute is more rounded and maybe slightly smaller. There's normally no lip plate either.
Where can I buy the Bamboo flute?
Dizi flute vs bansuri video please
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.
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've heard mix opinions on the glass flute. Just wondering your thoughts on it? I play the phone whistle and would like to explore the D glass flute. Thanks in advance. You're a great musician by the way thank you for your educational video!!
@@gypsyman535 Hi! Thanks so much. :-) I do enjoy my glass flutes. Just like anything that is handmade, and blown glass at that, they all play just a little bit different. Additionally, everyone plays just a little bit different, so the same flute might feel different in the hands of another person. I am quite happy with the ones I have and have used them in professional playing situations. They are just one more color to choose from in my flute collection. ;-)
Im a flutist myself tho i only play the indian bansuri the scale of fute she's using is g scale flute bc in a bansuri scale of the flute is determined but closing the first 3 holes
But the lowest note and the highest note still is d
çok güzel muhteşem çok teşekkür ederiz
I liked the glass flute the most. 🌈
I barely could tell the difference lmao only bansuri sounded different to me cause I play it a little
Bansuri is fav 🥰🥰
Hello..
What is the difference between the sound of a wooden flute and the sound of a silver flute?
Pay tension to the sounds of them then it’s easy if you have a good touch of sounds of flute music
I like bansuri
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.
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.
Bansuri 😍
I know you didn't mention it in this video, but where did you buy your duduk?
Nurwind duduks 👍
Thanks!
I like the sound of you're bamboo flute
Hey Ashley! Great video! Just found you here on TH-cam! I’m slowly building my TH-cam, Insta has been easier to navigate.
Thanks lady! Hi!!!
The wood sounds the best. More colorful and responsive
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.
what's a good place to buy a bansuri, for a beginner, if you live in Canada?
Punam flutes from India they make professional flutes
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.
Hi mam ,
I wanted to know is it good to buy Irish flute from Amazon
probably not
@@AshleyJarmack
Hello mam
I wanted to learn playing dizi flute
Can you please tell which flute I should buy bignner level or study study or professional level flute
Alo I wanted to know what is defference between d amd c flute
Ashley: "Subscribe if you want to hear more world instruments"
Me: *hurriedly smashes subscribe"
So cool, I'm excited to hear more!
I like wood and bamboo...less vibration than the metal and glass ones.
What is the name of the music that you just played 🤔
Scarborough Fair
Bamboo is liked the most
The sounds you make with a crystal flute- *beautiful mourning melody*
The sound I make with a glass flute- *CRASH* AW FU......
OH oh! HAHA. Careful there. ;-)
The wood and the bamboo dragged it
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?
Bamboo flute Is best👌👌
Sounds like Simon and Garfunkel softly sage
Which is preferable for a beginner noob
Can i know the song's name?
0:34
Wow awesome please give me one flute😍😍😍💕😘👌🙏
Concert flute all day.
Can you plz name this music piece🙂
It sounds like a song from a show - Águila Roja - Canción de Margarita. But I'm not sure :/
Didn’t she say at the beginning of the video that it was “Scarborough fair”?
@@lovelobster8475 oh you're right : d
At some point you might also want to add a Carbon Fibre Flute to your collection.
I like the idea of the simple crystal flute but it sounds too meloncholic.
Always bambooo
I think I heard this song in civilization 6
Love you play beauty
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.
Actually no while things you notes do matter a lot materials change the feel of the sound
Concert flute sounds metallic while the pitch is the same as the bamboo flute the sound resonates differently in both of them
@@suryanshsoni8809 The reason the concert flute sounds bright is the larger hole diameter. Bamboo and wooden flutes generally have smaller holes and therefore sound mellow. But if you find a transverse flute that doesn't follow these rules, I'll be interested in checking it out! :)
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.
