Oiling the Bansuri


 

It is good to oil the flute/bansuri from time to time, it helps prevent the fungus, also, keeps the bamboo solid.

Take a small cotton cloth, put 4-5 drops of sesame/mustard/almond oil, wrap the cloth around a long stick. Insert the stick into the Flute/Bansuri hole (just opposite to the cork hole) and try to rotate the stick slowly and softly so that the cloth touches the inner surface of Flute/Bansuri. Take the utmost care not to touch the cork. For cleaning the blowing and finger holes, take an earbud, dip the bud in the oil and then apply the oil by slowly rotating the earbud in the side of the holes.

Conclusion

The best way to maintain a flute/bansuri is to use it regularly. All the above-mentioned steps add to the lifespan of our musical companion. We should always treat the instrument with complete respect and care.
