    About :

    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. An electronic version is also available.
    Bill
    A leather or cardboard bellows is attached to a rectangular wooden sound box. Air escapes through several simple brass reeds (between 4 and 16) that 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.
