Really quite sad now. The tracking info I've got for my #Bansuri says that the estimated delivery date was today. It's now just about 8 PM. I've not received any sort of notification saying that it's arrived to Canada, let alone anything else. The last update to the tracking status was from May 14, by the looks of things. It's coming from Bangladesh, so maybe it's like... stuck between carriers or something. This doesn't seem normal to me, but I've also never ordered anything from so far away before.

Happy early birthday to me! It took some messing around and getting in contact with the company so they'd send me a manual order, but I did it! I will be getting my E-natural bass #bansuri shipped soon. Yay!

So, I've been seriously looking into purchasing a #bansuri. Thanks to reviews from my favorite artist, Iftekharul Anam, I've found a flute maker called Labu Flutes. Their prices are more affordable $65 for an E bass rather than $265 from Anubodh or $439.75 from Punam). Shipping to Canada is either $50 or $85 though, depending on shipping method you choose, and the only sound samples I've been able to find are from Anam's reviews of their Signature series. I've been able to contact them through WhatsApp of all things, but finding sound samples to express the tonal differences between their Signature and Bold lines has been a nightmare. Labu says there are no sound samples of their other flute lines. Don't think Anam would be using Labu instruments in his stuff though if they weren't professional quality. Is it really this hard to find something both affordable and of good quality that I can get shipped to the Western world? Blah! The fact they're so cheap in India makes me sad. If you were to pay Punam's Western world price in Rupees, it'd be over 37,000. Normally, you pay a couple thousand, if I'm not mistaken. Wish this market weren't so annoyingly difficult to traverse. Who in India wants to send me a bansuri? I'd pay you back LOL. Western prices are stupid. #Rant
