16-Inch steel tongue drum with Tanpura tuning and an antique gold powder coating. Tanpura is a drone instrument used mainly in melodic music.

It provides a meditative and calming environment besides providing support and sustain to another melody instrument. A characteristic feature of the tanpura is that its sound is very rich in overtones. This produces a special rich sound which helps the listener to transcend. Our tanpura drum has a set of 6 notes: C#3 G#3 B3 C#4 D#4 G#4. Playing the drum will help you in creating a very peaceful and serene environment. Included are 2 beaters and a economy gig bag.
