Shruti Box
A shruti box (sruti box or surpeti) is an instrument, originating from the Indian subcontinent, that traditionally works on a system of bellows. It is similar to a harmonium and is used to provide a drone in a practice session or concert of Indian classical music. It is used as an accompaniment to other instruments and notably the flute. The shruti box is also used in classical singing. In classical singing, the shruti box is used to help tune the voice. The use of the shruti box has widened with the cross-cultural influences of world music and new-age music to provide a drone for many other instruments as well as vocalists and mantra singing. Adjustable buttons allow tuning. Nowadays, electronic shruti boxes are commonly used, which are called ''shruthi pettige'' in Kannada, ''shruti petti'' in Tamil and Telugu and ''sur peti'' in Hindi. Recent versions also allow for changes to be made in the tempo, and the notes such as Madhyamam, Nishadam to be played in place of the usua ...

Melodica
The melodica is a handheld free-reed instrument similar to a pump organ or harmonica. It features a musical keyboard on top, and is played by blowing air through a mouthpiece that fits into a hole in the side of the instrument. The keyboard usually covers two or three octaves. Melodicas are small, lightweight, and portable, and many are designed for children to play. They are popular in music education programs, especially in Asia. The modern form of the instrument was invented by Hohner in the late 1950s, though similar instruments have been known in Italy since the 19th century. Description The mouthpiece can be a short rigid or semi-flexible plastic piece or a long flexible plastic tube (designed to allow the player to either hold the keyboard so the keys can be seen or lay the keyboard horizontally on a flat surface for two-handed playing). A foot pump can also be used as an alternative to breathing into the instrument. Melodica keyboards typically ascend from a low F note. ...

Pour Down Like Silver
''Pour Down Like Silver'' is the third album by the British duo of singer-songwriter and guitarist Richard and vocalist Linda Thompson. It was recorded in the summer of 1975 and released in November 1975. Background The Thompsons had adopted the Sufi faith in 1974 and had moved into a commune in London.

On the other hand, he always encouraged me, "you have a voice and you've got to sing".' Humphries, Patrick, ''Richard Thompson – The Biography'', Schirmer, 1997. * Jo Lustig (managing the Thompsons at the time):'Richard came to me and said "look, my Mullah doesn't want me to play electric guitar.
