This is the original and
rare style with a handful of followers. It is also deeply
spiritual. The unique aspects of this style are:
- Seventh hole for
fingering - It is due to the seventh fingering hole
or the Dhruva Madhyam (term coined by Shri Prabhakar
Nachane) that a Meend between Teevra Madhyam and
Pancham can be played. This offers a wider range
over notes and facilitates playing any raga in a
presentable manner. Ragas with two Madhyams can
also be played easily and beautifully on this flute.
- Purity of raga structure
- The flautists of Pannalal Ghosh style consider
themselves committed to the authentic structure
of a raga and do not interfere with the time tested
combinations of notes. Drawing from the immense
treasure of old compositions stirs one's emotions
and uplifts the soul. At the same time, there is
complete freedom for individual creativity.
- A uniform blend
of Gayaki (vocal style) and Tatkari (stringed instrument
style) - This makes the style complete and one-of-a
kind.
