👉 A pure fundamental tone instrument - The 432 Hz frequency is considered the "frequency of harmony." Unlike the standard 440 Hz tuning, it is said to be closer to the Earth's natural vibrations and promote a state of deep well-being.

It works like a small harmonium without keys.

You can create a powerful continuous tone or chord on it. The sound is similar to that of an accordion.

The shruti-box or surpeti is an Indian free-reed musical instrument. It is a singing guide with variable drones operated by a manual bellows, like a keyboard-less harmonium. There is also an electronic version.
Bill
A leather or cardboard bellows is attached to a rectangular wooden sound box.

The air escapes through several simple brass reeds (between 4 and 16) which can be opened or closed as desired. The air must be pumped by hand by operating the bellows. There is also a mute.

Game
It is a study instrument, of modest volume and price, which replaces a tampura, a harmonium, or a shehnai drone or nâgasvaram. It is also sometimes found in concerts alongside the tampura.
