To make an E bass bansuri, you need a bamboo tube approximately 1.2 meters long with a diameter of about 2.5 cm. The finger holes should be positioned according to the desired scale, with the first hole about 10-12 cm from the top, and subsequent holes spaced around 6-8 cm apart. Make sure to carefully measure and drill the holes, ensuring they are of the correct diameter for optimal sound quality. Finally, fine-tune the instrument by adjusting the hole sizes and positions as needed to achieve the desired pitch.
Newari instruments are traditional musical instruments from the Newar community in Nepal, known for their rich cultural heritage. Some prominent Newari instruments include the "daha," a type of drum; the "mahad" or "madhyapur," a string instrument; and the "bansuri," a bamboo flute. These instruments are often used in various cultural celebrations, rituals, and folk music performances, reflecting the vibrant traditions of the Newar people. Their unique sounds contribute significantly to the festive atmosphere during Newari festivals and ceremonies.
The bansuri is typically made from a single piece of bamboo which is hollowed out and shaped into a tube with finger holes. The bamboo is dried and then tuned by adjusting the length and diameter of the instrument. The bansuri is finished with a polish or varnish to protect the bamboo and enhance its appearance.

The bansuri, a traditional Indian bamboo flute, has been played for centuries and its exact origins are not attributed to one specific individual. However, it has been popularized and associated with legendary Indian gods and musicians such as Lord Krishna and Tansen.
Bansuri flute is made of a piece of bamboo with one end closed with the natural bamboo node or with a cork. It has 7 to 9 holes, one for blowing and the rest for fingers. So essentially it has only one or at the most two physical parts.

Bansuri is certainly a primordial instrument and to arrive at an exact date when it was invented does not seem possible. But we can take some educated guesses at this. Krishna who is considered to be the 9th avatar of Vishnu, is the most famous player of bansuri in history. As a youth he used to be a cowherd and it is said that by his mesmerizing flute playing he not only used to bring back lost cows but used to enchant the whole town of Braj, especially the milk women folk. Krishna's birth is dated by historian to be anywhere between 1400 B.C. to 5800 B.C.. By deduction, bansuri has to have been invented much before the time of Krishna. So we are talking about the date of 'invention' older than 3400 years or may be even older than 7800 years! Apart from the story of Krishna, there are many references to bansuri in the old scriptural text of India. In one of the most important books on Indian music theory, Sangeeta Ratnakara (13th century), Sarangadeva refers to 13 different sizes of flute. Also, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta (2nd century B.C.) have murals depicting bansuri players. The Vedas are among the oldest sacred texts in the world dating from 1500-500 B.C. The vedic texts refer to the flute as venu. It was used as accompaniment to vedic recitations along with veena.
