Why do you need an entire Carnatic flute set?
Each song is played in a particular key or scale. So if you have to reproduce the exact notes you need the entire flute set. More over when you play in a band the singer will be comfortable in a particular key and therefore you need that particular key in flute. Else the notes will not match. It may be worthwhile to understand that you just need one instrument (Guitar, Piano, Keyboard etc.) to play all the keys unlike flute, which needs specific scale flute to play a particular scale.
Which Carnatic flute set to buy as an beginner?
While there is no right answer for this, it is ideal to start from mid octave flute set (all the 12 notes) and then add few flutes in higher and lower octaves (around 5 -6 notes) to complete your full set. The two factors that you have to be careful is to make sure that the flutes have perfect tuning (concert grade: 440 HZ) and have a great tone. Natural node is a must for carnatic flutes.

I first bought a D# plastic flute from Amazon, but 4 notes were completely out of tune. I saw about Indiran’s flute in Youtube, and i purchased it from Music Master. in fact they sent a video fo 3 D# flutes through whatsapp and asked me to pick the ones I like. I am so happy that I got a great bamboo flute.
