@moviezloverz @najam133 The thing is, there are no perfect tuning notes in Indian classical music. It is always relative. If you know the chromatic scale, it is like 'do re mi fa and so on.....' So the strings are tuned to a base note, and then the fifth of that note. So if the first string, is tuned to a C then the second to a G, the third to the higher C and then the 4th to a higher G.

@najam133 tuned to EBEB

Hi, thats right. It's an EBEB tuning on a regular Western Violin that you find in regular music shops. The fourth and third strings tuned to an octave lower.

so can you play "canartic violin" on a regular western violin that you would get at sam ash, or do you need a special type of indian style violin to do what you are doing?

[najam133]

Interesting video sir, but please may i ask, what notes are those strings tuned to? GDAE?

[moviezloverz]

Thank you for explaining the tuning, I have one question though, I am a violinist myself and have been playing Western style for about 5 years now, I am wondering, if Western style music is tuned to a 440 frequency, can we tune to a certain frequency for Carnatic violin, for the sound to be built into our minds before we tune to voices such as you are here in the vid. If there is one may I know what frequency it is?
