Taanpura is the most fundamental and essential instrument in Indian Classical Music. It provides a drone of the first and the fifth notes, however other harmonics are audible very clearly. Listening to the taanpura the musician keeps in tune and performs with a reference to perfect notes.
The jawari of a taan pura is kept open so that the harmonics can be readily audible.
We presently have a full size taanpura available for sale for $400. It comes with a case and a soft cover.
