Today I was watching VKRaman in Jaya TV interview and he was analysing playing with short&thin , medium and bigger size flutes.
It was interesting to hear the bigger flute performance . Actually Hindustani vidwans mostly perform in this. But I am not a great fan
of HM treatment. I have seen Shashank using multiple flutes in concerts. Does anyone know carnatic flute kutcheries performed with
mostly bigger flute (lower octave).
Any flutist performs with bigger sized flutes

Are you asking if anyone has performed a whole concert with a base flute? If so, I dont know of any. Dr. N. Ramani was the earliest to introduce the use of Base flutes into carnatic concerts. He
has played on the 5/5.5 sruthi base flutes along with Sri T.R. Mahalingam in quite a few concerts. These concerts dont have violin as an accompaniment since the base flute provides the
lower octave accompaniment that a violin would normally provide.
