The problem is that when the raga is sung, the singers don't always actually sing the <em>names </em>of the notes so we can compare them (they do sing the names of notes in specific contexts, but more on that later), one just has to "hear" the different komal rishabhs when they are singing in aalaap (i.e. going "aaaaa"). But there are videos I've found showing the use of microtones (including the different komal rishabhs) on a sarod with the notes sung as well. Post with them coming up. http://www.likhati.com/2010/04/18/introducing-yourself-to-indian-classical-music-11-demonstrating-the-srutis-microtones-in-indian-classical-music/ Ummon, not at all!
