Every musical journey begins with a single note. For Radhe Flutes by Tej Kumar Sharma, a name that redefined the whole Bansuri genre, that every note was played with faith, dedication, and a deep love for music. What started as a humble effort to create soulful flutes has today become a trusted name among musicians across India and beyond. This is the story of Radhe Flutes — a journey shaped by craftsmanship, culture, and a clear vision for the future.
The Beginning: When Passion Met Purpose
A Vision Rooted in Music
Radhe Flutes was founded in the year 2000 by Tej Kumar Sharma in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. At a time when quality handmade flutes were limited and inconsistent, the vision was simple yet powerful — to create flutes that felt alive, sounded pure, and connected the player to music on a deeper level.
Becoming a Benchmark in Quality
From the very beginning, Radhe Flutes focused on quality, consistency, and musical authenticity. Through years of dedication and refinement, it gradually earned recognition as one of the best flute brands among the many present in the market, trusted by learners, teachers, and professional musicians alike.
The early days were not easy. Each flute was carefully handcrafted, tested, and refined through experience rather than machines. Learning came from listening — to the bamboo, to musicians, and to the evolving needs of flute players. What kept the journey moving forward was an unshakable belief that music deserves sincerity.
Building Trust Through Craftsmanship
Consistency That Musicians Rely On
Quality has always been the foundation of Radhe Flutes. From selecting the right bamboo to precise tuning and finishing, every step reflects years of hands-on expertise. Over time, this commitment helped Radhe Flutes gain the trust of beginners, students, teachers, and professional flautists.
Flutes for Every Stage of Learning
Radhe Flutes designs instruments that support musicians at every level:

This inclusive approach helped create a strong bond with musicians, making Radhe Flutes more than a brand — a companion in the learning journey.
Growing Beyond Borders
A Name Musicians Recommend
What began in Ahmedabad gradually found its way into homes, music academies, and concert stages across India. With time, Radhe Flutes also reached international musicians who were searching for authentic Indian bamboo flutes.
Word-of-mouth, consistent quality, and a deep respect for musical tradition helped the brand grow organically. Today, Radhe Flutes proudly serves musicians worldwide while staying rooted in Indian musical heritage.
Empowering Women: The Strength Behind the Sound

Their dedication, precision, and patience are reflected in every flute that leaves the workshop — proving that music is not just heard, but carefully built by hands that believe in it.
Innovation While Respecting Tradition
From Bamboo to Modern Materials
In the early years, Radhe Flutes focused exclusively on traditional Bamboo Flutes, preserving the classical sound and natural feel of the instrument. As music evolved and player needs expanded, the brand embraced change while staying true to its roots.
Today, Radhe Flutes offers a wide range of flutes made from bamboo, PVC, brass, and other materials, allowing musicians to choose instruments that match their learning stage, playing style, and performance needs.
Tradition Meets Modern Music
While materials and designs have expanded, the core philosophy remains unchanged — balance, tuning accuracy, and soulful sound. This harmony between tradition and innovation ensures that every flute carries both heritage and progress.
The focus has always been on balance — respecting classical knowledge while opening doors for new learners and evolving musical styles.
