Selection of the BEST FLUTE

To ensure the Good quality selection... it is better to take with you... one Advisory person who knows well how to play the Flute.

Because... the Swarasthana aptness to the purest degree is important.... which can be indentified and discerned amongst the various choices only by playing it properly... by demonstration and adjudgement..

...which can be made possible only by a well- acquainted person...

....but not by a Kaththuk-kutti... a new learner... Student !!!
