THE BAMBOO FLUTE
BY
S. MAHESHKUMAR
BACH'S Organ is the King
Of all Musical Instruments
Lord Krishna's Flute is the God
Embodying Supremacy in Simplicity
Organ building needs a lot
Both in Craftsmanship and in Space
Whereas the Bamboo Flute can be made
By simple means and comes in handy
It is the most natural of any Instruments
So far Invented next only to the Voice
For Voice and the playing of the Flute
Require the Breath-Wind to produce the Music
The uniqueness of the Bamboo Flute
Is its ability to fluctuate & sustain in any note termed as "Gamaka"
The Key Flute is artificial in every aspect
And lacks the performance of "Gamaka"
The Bamboo Flute is not only an Instrument
It teaches us by practice & nurtures thus our self-study
The Key Flute transports us to its Magic World
But the Bamboo Flute transforms our Souls into the Mystic & the Divine
