The duo is well appreciated for their innovative approach, perfect synchronization, shruthi shuddham (perfect pitching), tonal quality and the blend which makes the rasikas feel at times as if they are listening to a single flute. Heramb Hemanth have developed a unique, refined fingering and blowing technique, which enables them to switch between wide range of flutes, including the difficult bass and double-bass flutes.

They started learning carnatic flute at the age of 6 under the renowned flautist, Sri Mysore AV Prakash and are currently under the tutelage of well-known carnatic vocalist, Kalaimamani Sri Neyveli Santhanagopalan. Heramb Hemanth, the twin brothers, affectionately called as the Flute Brothers, are two of the most sought after flautists and the only twin flute duo in the carnatic music scenario today.
