Tuning of Rudra Veena and Surbahar

The Rudra Veena stringing in the diagram below is for a pitch of G. The pitch is variable from F to A.
The string gauges depend on the pitch. In the diagram below, there are 4 fretted main playing
strings (pegs #3, #4, #5, #6), 2 Chikari strings, and 2 Jawari strings. There are many different styles of
stringing and tuning configurations. Some Rudra Veenas have only 6 or 7 pegs, and some have as
many as 10. A DOT below a note means that it sounds in the octave below the mid SA, as found at
the seventh fret on the 6th main playing string, or on the 8th chicari string SA. Two DOTS below a
note means it sounds in the second octave below.

Tuning of Surbahar

Surbuhar is a bass sitar. Depending on the string length and string gauges, the SA can be between
Low F, and A. The string gauges below are for G.
