Free online tool for bansuri makers. Plan hole placement with physics-based acoustic modeling, Indian scale (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni) defaults, and playability checks for your bore and octave.
MakeMyFlute is more than a calculator. We publish a step-by-step bansuri maker's guide covering embouchure and cork setup, bracketing Sa–Pa–Ma, under-drilling, tuner technique, and finishing. Read how to choose bamboo blanks (length, bore, wall, ovality, seasoning) and why finger holes are not evenly spaced on a real bansuri.
Tone-hole positions follow cylindrical-flute models in the tradition of Arthur Benade: end correction at the embouchure, closed-hole loading, and frequency targets for each open hole. Our solvers include a Flutomat-compatible path so makers can cross-check familiar reference outputs. Enter honest bore and wall measurements, pick octave and Sa, then under-drill pilots and tune on a warm flute.
