Shruti Box

A Shruti Box is a portable, pedal-operated device commonly used in Indian music to provide a continuous, adjustable drone soundtrack. It consists of a series of bellows that produce sound by air passing over metal reeds, generating harmonious, musical notes. Musicians use it to create a steady tonal background, often during meditation, improvisation, or vocal practice, helping singers stay in tune and maintain a specific mood. The device allows players to modulate pitch and volume, offering an authentic traditional sound without the need for electronic amplification.
