# Which morsing should I buy?

 Updated 25 October 2026

 

Choose a **[morsing](/en-int/instrument/morsing)** by pitch: each is tuned to one sruti, so pick the instrument that matches the tonic you will play in, and expect to need one per sruti. Test instruments before buying and consider buying several, because morsings wear out, the higher srutis faster. Beeswax on the tongue tip can lower the pitch a little.
