A shruti is useful to bring more harmonics and sustain the important notes, which are used by the musician in addition to the tanpura, to maintain a perfect tuning all over the raga. A shruti is also absolutely necessary when you are doing exercises with your musical instrument for obtaining a perfect tuning.

Our shruti is provided with different accordion, bandoneon, harmonium sound samples, to match your tastes! The samples are recordings of real instruments for around 20 seconds. This guaranty that the shruti will sound natural.
