Description : Played on my male Tanpura, a masterly craftmanship from Miraj (India) selected by my vocal Indian teacher, Dr. S.C.R. Bhat from Mumbai. The Tanpura Drone is used as basic support for the Vocalist singer and also as background for instrumental players. Tanpura means Tan = Melody pura= place - the place for notes. Characteristic for Tanpura are the rich overtones which are created from plucking the tonic note and the fifth sometimes also the fourth according to the Raga or melodic scale. Tuning for this 4 string Tanpura is: G# C# C# and lower octave C#. Key in C#. It was
recorded in a professional Studio in Germany.

Great sound, must be a beautiful instrument. Any chance you might upload more? Am playing the fretless acoustic bass and lap steel guitar.. emulating some raga"ish" improvisations. Am mainly playing in standard E for the bass and Open D on the Lapsteel, so a solid Tanpura recording in D would be fantastic!

Thank you for this one in any case!

You might also like these loops

If you liked Indian TANPURA Drone by jensmuse you might also like these other 96 bpm, Sitar loops and samples in the key of C#. These loops should mix well together.
