Examples

  • Picked up a Raagini Pro electric tanpura: it's a little beige box, a little smaller than a breadmachine loaf of bread, that produces an amazing reproduction of the drone tones of the 4-string basslike instrument of India, with rising and swelling overtones using the six or so primary chords found in ragas, with variable tempo.
