D Todi Raga
D · E♭ · F · G♯ · A · B♭ · C♯
Derived from the North Indian raga of the same name, D Todi Raga uses a flat second, minor third, raised fourth, flat sixth, and major seventh. The combination of a raised fourth with a flat sixth and a leading tone is unusually tense. Rewarding for slow, ornamented playing where each note gets room to speak.
Left-handed
