TUNAVA FLUTE

Inspired from the South American QUENA FLUTE a traditional Andean Musical instrument . TUNAVA flute is an entirely new Carnatic flute designed by Vivek V Krishna a flautist from Bangalore .

TUNAVA means flute in sanskrit language . The construction of this flute is very simple and is blown straight instead of the traditional side blown flutes . It has no nodes or a stopper on either sides thus making the flute completely hollow . The flute is blown from one end which has a curved notch which acts as a blowing hole . The 8 fingering holes are carefully placed according to the Carnatic flute construction and measurements .

The main advantages of this flute is that the mid range and the bass are incredible thus making the notes heard very clearly in those ranges though it quite difficult to produce sound in the beginning it takes practice to master it . Once used to it one will enjoy the tonality of this beautiful instrument.
