Full size high concert Tampura
Our professional Miraj tanpuras are high quality, full male size instruments made by one of the most reputed makers in India. These beautiful droning tanpuras, provide the reference point for melodic improvisations by performers of the other instruments. Not only do they exude a rich sound quality but they have been painstakingly and beautifully decorated. Soft carry case included! In South India they are known as a tambura, and they are also known as tampura and tamboura. These long-necked Indian instruments somewhat resemble the sitar, but they have no frets, as only the open strings are played as a harmonic accompaniment to the other musicians. The four wire strings are plucked one after another in a regular pattern to create a harmonic resonance on the basic note. The tanpura will give you hours of pleasure and relaxation. The Vijnanabhairava, an ancient text on meditation says, “As one listens to the resonance of the sounds of stringed instruments, one becomes absorbed in the space of eternal consciousness.”
