In this video, I try and explain the concept of Shruthi and how to Tune your violin and why we tune it to different forms.
This concept of tuning and shruthi can be applied to any string instrument to play Indian music.

Shruthi - Choose a particular sound frequency and make that as tonic note which is base note Sa (Shadjamam).
Tuning - Use Pano Tuner instead of Tambura so you tune it perfectly. Use Pegs when you have to tune the string to 2 or more notes high or lower than the note the string currently is tuned to.
Use the fine tune screws to adjust the string in 1/2 or 1 note variations.
Tune to S P S P for most of the shruthis. But when the shruthi is too high or too low (shruthis A, A#, B, C  or C# which is 6, 6.5, 7, 1, 1.5 shruthis) use P S P S tuning so the string can miantain high tension and you dont break the string trying to tune the violin to such high shruthis.
