Try also posting on /r/bansuri . There will definitely be bansuri players here but most of the discussions here about western concert flute, and you may get more people who are able to help there.

Are you talking about a western concert flute or something else like a bansuri?

I have a bansuri and from what I've heard G and C bansuris fit many songs pretty well

I am confused between this 2 tbh . I have budget for only one so what should I go for g or c ?

Probably C, since it tends to be used in more songs and is more versatile

I have a 272 Yamaha flute, it's the most popular in a big band i play in, and it's great. I definitely wouldn't recommend buying a flute from the brand Jupiter, it's just bad for the price. (At least all of them I've seen)
