Amazing Tanpura

It’s truely a great Tanpura. The sound is close to the original acoustic Tanpura. Specially for android user, there was a lamentable derth of good taanpura app. I am sure it will help all the serious Indian Musicians.
All the best.💐💐

Amazing Tanpura Tone

This tanpura sound from the app is the best I’ve heard so far. I also really liked the Sur Peti tone—it blends beautifully without disturbing the tanpura sound. If you connect it to a good speaker, you can get a sound that comes very close to an acoustic tanpura.
