I bought 3 Bansuris and the D Bansuri was playing slightly flat in the Sa note (The D note) while the others were andolutely great, so it may have been a faulty one, but not satisfied with the D flute due to it being slightly out of tune. It is a large flute, larger than the E flute, so not recommended for beginners. Sound is okay. We are not friends because of the note that is off, so havent really played it very much.
