Introduction to Tanpura: Definition and History
The Tanpura, also known as Tambura, is a long-necked plucked string instrument that plays a key role in Indian classical music. Unlike other string instruments, the Tanpura does not play melody but rather creates a harmonic drone. This drone is essential in providing a tonal reference point for the melody and the rhythm in Indian music. The origins of the Tanpura date back to ancient India, where it was used in Vedic rituals. Over time, it became integral to the performance of Indian classical music, both in the Hindustani and Carnatic traditions. The Tanpura's design and construction have evolved, but its basic structure has remained consistent, emphasizing the instrumentâs rich tonal quality.
Sub-tags and Classifications of Tanpura
Miraj Tanpura
The Miraj Tanpura, originating from the city of Miraj in Maharashtra, India, is one of the most widely recognized forms of the Tanpura. It is known for its deep, resonant sound and is commonly used in both Hindustani and Carnatic music. The body of the Miraj Tanpura is typically made from seasoned teak wood, and its gourd is larger, which contributes to its robust tonal quality.
Tanjore Tanpura
The Tanjore Tanpura, hailing from the Tanjore region in Tamil Nadu, is distinct for its slender body and refined craftsmanship. This Tanpura is often smaller in size compared to the Miraj variety and is favored in Carnatic music. The Tanjore Tanpura is noted for its crisp and clear drone, making it ideal for vocal accompaniment.
Electronic Tanpura
The Electronic Tanpura is a modern adaptation that simulates the sound of the traditional Tanpura using electronic circuits. It is widely used by musicians who require portability and ease of use. Though it lacks the natural resonance of a traditional Tanpura, it offers convenience and consistency in performance settings.
Famous Artists and Works Related to Tanpura
