What are flute notes on Kpnotes?
Flute notes on Kpnotes are bansuri swarlipi with a recommended flute key (for example E Natural Medium or C Natural Medium) so your Sa matches the recording. Browse the sargam notes archive, then practise hole closures on the Virtual Bansuri Fingering Chart.
How to start a song on bansuri
- Open a song from the Sargam archive and note the Flute Key chip in the hero.
- Pick a bansuri in that pitch (or the closest Medium size you own). Closing the top three holes is Sa in the Hindustani fingering system used on Kpnotes.
- Practice hole closures on the Virtual Bansuri Fingering Chart — tap each swara to see open/half/closed holes, then return to the song and play under the lyric line.
- Loop one phrase slowly. Apostrophe markers (S') are Taar saptak — use faster air, not brute force.
Flute key tips
- C Medium is a common beginner size and pairs easily with keyboard C.
- E Bass / concert lengths give a warmer tone for classical and film ballads.
- Komal swaras often need half-hole covering — the chart shows half-open states.

FAQ
Are these Western flute notes or Indian bansuri?
Kpnotes Sargam pages are for Indian bansuri (and harmonium/vocals). Notation uses Sa Re Ga Ma swaras, not Western flute fingerings for Boehm flute.
Do I need the exact flute key listed?
The listed key matches the original recording best. You can still learn the swara shapes on another Medium bansuri; absolute pitch will differ.
