..:: Pluck Stringed World Instrument ::..

The Tambura or Tampura (तानपूरा;) is a long-necked pluck stringed instrument found in various forms in Indian music. It does not play melody but rather supports and sustains the melody of another instrument or singer by providing a continuous Harmonic Drone. The Tambura is not played in rhythm with the soloist or percussionist: as the precise timing of plucking a cycle of four strings in a continuous loop is a determinant factor in the resultant sound, it is played unchangingly during the complete performance. The repeated cycle of plucking all strings creates the sonic canvas on which the melody of the raga is drawn. This Pack has Traditional Tamburas in multiple keys and tempos as well as some unique pads.
