I bought 2 imitation bansuri today. Medium sized and Large sized. Got them on the streets of Port-Louis (yes it's shocking that specialized instrument shops don't even have this!).

Where exactly? And how much did you pay?

Btw good to know you've managed to get your bansuri :)

Khush_Mendossa Level 3

I paid Rs80 for both :P
On the streets near the Bazaar. The seller was playing bansuri also lol.

Now I just have to learn it.

Sweet! Oh I thought you already knew how to play that music instrument, lol.

Nah I know only guitar bongo piano :p
and a bit tabla xD

Only? Most people use the word "only" with a single object but you associate it with a list, haha. You're a man of talents :D

How about ordering it online if you can't get it locally?

Have you tried asking a music teacher (someone who teaches bansuri, sitar etc) where you could acquire one?

Khush_Mendossa Level 3

Checked. I have to pay Rs4000 for a whole set! But I need just one.

Try Damoo which is located at La Chausee Port-Louis, next to KFC, opposite Jardin Companie (Tel : 454 8555).

There's also a music shop in Caudan.

Columbia Guitar Music House located in Quatre-Bornes might be worth calling as well (Tel : 424-3103).

None of these have it :(

Seriously?

Can't you get a used one from eBay? Saw your comment below saying you have to buy the whole set but surely, you must be able to get a used one from the internet.

A used bansuri? One which someone has already put near their lips and blown air on it after consuming don't know what? No way haha!

Dettol, lol. Disinfect, steam clean and let it dry in full sunlight, haha.

I wouldn't buy a used one too but some people don't mind all this stuff...
