What is sare tuning?

Sare tuning is a musical tuning system that originated from South India. It is used in Carnatic music, a classical music tradition from South India. In sare tuning, the octave is divided into 22 unequal intervals, known as shrutis.

The shrutis are used to adjust pitches in a way that creates more precise melodic intervals. The tuning can be adjusted on a microtonal level, allowing for a vast range of expression and ornamentation in the music.

Sare tuning has been in use for thousands of years and is considered one of the most sophisticated tuning systems in the world. It is still used today in traditional Indian music, and has also been adopted by many world musicians and composers who seek to incorporate its unique tonal qualities into their own work.
