A Sruti Box, also known as a Shruti Box, is a musical instrument used in Indian classical music. It is a small wooden box with a series of reeds or metal tongues inside, which produce a continuous drone when air is blown into it. The Sruti Box is specifically designed to provide a constant reference pitch or drone, allowing musicians to practice and perform with accurate intonation. It is commonly used by vocalists and instrumentalists to stay in tune and maintain the correct tonal center. The Sruti Box is an essential tool for musicians seeking to enhance their sense of pitch and tonality.
