One of the more interesting little things we saw at Summer NAMM 2008 was the Radel Electronic Tanpura. It's a digital instrument made by India's premier digital music manufacturer that samples traditional drone and lets you manipulate it over a two octave range.
Drone on, Radel. Drone on.

Although the strings are basically tuned to the key I want, the threads between the bone bridge and the metal strings need adjusting so as to get the 'vibration' that is in esscence the sound of the Tanpura
A beautiful 145 cm long 'Miraj' made tanpura recently bought from 'Delhi Music Store' (DMS) in Old Delhi, India. Although I am not in any way connected to the company, I can honestly recommend them. Mr. Singh sells only fine quality instruments and all sold at 'fair' and honest prices.

Having set the basic key I wanted and adjusted the threads to get the optimum vibration here is what the instrument sounds like. Again, excuse the poor audio!
