E-Tanpura

What is the E-Tanpura

An e-tanpura is often used in concert by many performers as a substitute for tanpura performers. When tanpura performers are not available, using an e-tanpura is easy way to generate this sound. The e-tanpura has a variable pitch function to match the pitch of the live performers.
