Please note that this is just a "quick guide".  It is OK for a beginner, but at some point it will fail you.  There is no substitute for a comp­lete under­stand­ing of the mus­ical and technical, is­sues surrounding the tuning of your instrument.  A more de­tailed dis­cus­sion of tuning op­tions is to be found here (Stringing and Tuning the Dilruba and Esraj).
