While putting bamboo flutes under the ceiling beam if it is not striaght but oval shaped then where and how to put bamboo flutes ,andd mouthpiece end should be up or down as different people say differet things

These are some of the considerations:

1. The overall concept of placing the flutes or two flutes has more to do with SYMBOLISM in Feng Shui than anything else.

2. When it comes to symbolism; there is no hard or fast rule.

3. For example, it is not like studying to become a real life doctor of medicine. Here, a doctor must have an exact understanding of say where all the internal organs and veins in a person.

4. Symbolism in Feng Shui can be wide ranging and subject to lots of various interpretations. So long as it sounds reasonable, it can be used.

5. Thus the most common method of placing flutes especially a pair of flutes is shown under this link:-

6. What you mentioned, whether the mouth piece should be up or down differs greatly from many people.

7. Frankly, para 6 does NOT matter! As I had mentioned, there are even more concepts like buying a SET of Dragon and Phoenix flute. So, here again, there can be an issue of should I place dragon left or right of the phoenix.

8. Again, IT DOES NOT MATTER!

9. What matters is symbolism in Feng Shui. The rationale for slanting the flutes is to symbolise a Ba Gua profile or outline!

10. Please see attachment. Feng Shui is not like medical science. Under Feng Shui, a person's heart, lung and even intestine can be all over the body.. and it is still absolutely OK!

11. The morale of the story, here is: If one wants to apply Feng Shui; don't study anatomy!
