		Having settled upon the bansuri as his instrument of choice, he traveled to Mumbai where he came under the influence of Pannalal Ghosh, the only significant exponent of this instrument in all of India at that time.
		Pannalal's great achievement was to found or revive a tradition of classical performance on flute, after a period of centuries when it was regarded as a purely folk instrument.
		In order to do this, he has had to overcome certain technical limitations with the instrument itself, adding a bamboo key to facilitate the correct rendition of certain ragas by allowing for a perfectly smooth glissando between the fourth note (ma), and the fifth note (pa), which is otherwise difficult to accomplish on the bansuri.
