The higher octave flutes are very small in size and produces a shrill sound and therefore you can avoid them.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Each set theoretically has 12 notes and therefore 12 flutes. So ideally if you want to play songs of all keys, you need all the 12 flutes in an octave. The ideal choice to have full carnatic set is the mid octave. This will help you to play a song in any scale. A lot of professional carnatic flautists also play in bass flute. So it is \u2018advisable\u2019 to own a few bass flutes also. The most widely use Carnatic bass flutes are G#, A, A# and B.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Why do you need an entire Carnatic flute set?<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">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.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Which Carnatic flute set to buy as an beginner?<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">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.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Flutes in Mid Octave Carnatic Flute Set<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The mid set South Indian Carnatic flute consist of 12 flutes tuned to 440 Hz.
