Indian tanpura is a drone instrument usually accompanying sitar on raga.
- Family: Strings
- Wikidata item: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1164636
- relationships:
- related to: sitar
- type of: plucked strings instrument (inaccurate but correct)
- aliases: tanpuri, tampura, tampuri, tambura, tamburi.
Note: tanpuri (and ta..uri aliases) specifically designates the small-scale version actually used to accompany sitar, whereas larger versions accompany vocals. I am not sure whether it is worth to add tanpuri separately.
