Tuning methods differ across Indian classical instruments. For the sitar, primary strings are set to Sa, Pa, and Sa across two octaves. Chikari strings are tuned to high Sa and Pa for sonic effect. Tarabs (sympathetic strings) are sequenced according to the raga's notes. A tanpura serves as the reference for precise Sa. For the Sarod, main strings are tuned to Sa, Pa, and Sa, with accompanying drone and rhythm strings adjusted to match. Accurate tuning guarantees correct pitch, a distinct sound, and ample resonance. Musicians meticulously adjust pegs and fine-tuners for precise pitch before each concert.
