Hi there
I've just bought my first second-hand santoor. I'm able to tune the bass notes easy enough, however I cannot get the higher octave part of the string to be anywhere close to the same note the bass side is tuned to. I feel like it's the position of my bridge. I've been trying to shorten/lengthen my octave higher side and find a balance between the both sides and the length they need to produce my required not but it seems impossible at the moment
Hi Steve
Normally Indian Santoor srings are placed to tune instrument from lower Pancham A ( with some changes in strings we can tune it from lower Sa (D) to upper Pancham A. Upper notes running is depends on String Gauges and Placement of bridges.
