The Music and Musical Instruments of Southern India and the Deccan c6.23

- **Language:** English

### [c6.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.day-1891.c6.23)

The scales are formed from the s'rutis, four s'rutis being allotted to a major tone, three to a minor (which would appear to have been of a pitch somewhat flatter than the tone and sharper than the semitone; doubts, however, exist as to whether the intervals of the s'rutis were equal or not), and two to a semitone.
