Contact SupplierTanpura is a drone instrument. It resembles a sitar except it has no frets. It has four strings tuned to the tonic. The word "tanpura" (tanpoora) is common in the north, but in south India it is called "tambura", "thamboora", "thambura", or "tamboora". If tuned well, the vibrations of the (4) separate strings that touch the 'bridge' slightly, create harmonies in the form of higher and higher 'overtones'.
