Harsh Wardhan, Biography
Harsh Wardhan is a famous bansuri ( the Indian bamboo flute)
player from New Delhi, where he directs his own school. He tours regularly in
India and in Europe. He is the regular bansuri teacher in both the French and
the Sangit school of Brussels. His pedagogy is one of the best available today
as he has developped a sophisticated concept for finger placement. Harsh is also
one of the best luthier today in India, the 'Stradivarius' of the flute, making
the bansuris of almost all important players. This double experience as a
concertist and a luthier, joined to his deep knowledge of the raaga,
makes him a unique and excellent teacher. Studiyng the bansuri is of great interest for the
Boehme flute, as well as the baroque flute players. And Harsh has really
succeeded in implementing a highly interesting fingering technique. All the
flutists who joined his lectures have enjoyed the flavour of the original
'bamboo sound'.
