DOBANI TDSD16TN9AG-1 Steel Tongue 16-Inch 9-Note Drum Tanpura Tuning w/Gig Bag&2 Beaters- *Blemished

16-Inch steel tongue drum with Tanpura tuning and an antique silver powder coating. Tanpura is a drone instrument used mainly in melodic music. The sound of the tanpura is the very frame of reference on which the entire melody rests.  

It provides a meditative and calming environment besides providing support and sustaining to another melody instrument. A characteristic feature of the tempura is that its sound is very rich in overtones. This produces a special rich sound that helps the listener to transcend.

• C#3 D#3 F#3 G#3 B3 C#4 D#4 F#4 G#4.  
• Playing the drum will help you in creating a very peaceful and serene environment.
