I'm so happy I finally know which instrument creates the sound i like the most in indian classical music.
😀
What a beautiful sound it makes
thank you!
Love from India,brother..
thank you bhaiya
keep up the good work! I’m Chinese and I’m really interested in Indian music
Awesome! Thank you!
Delightful sound with very informative teaching.
thank you :)
Wow! The canvas is a perfect analogy!
Thanks, it makes more sense to me now. Beautiful!!!
Glad to hear !
Believe it, or not: Canned Heat brought me here. "On the Road Again," by Alan Wilson. I always wondered what how he got that cool sound at the very beginning of the piece. Thanks for this video. Good Luck.
Very cool!
Yeah canned heat will do that.
My venture into electro pop funk death metal fusion also started there .

The best clips I've found in English- thanks Will, joe
thanks for sharing, all the best!
Awesome explanations. Loved it. Thank you!
Thanks, glad to hear!
Thank you so much for this wonderful demonstration. I don't know if I will ever get to play one, but your energy is so nice, I will think of you when I hear this sound.
Thank you! Very clear explanation for beginners🙏🌸
Happy to hear. 🌺
Nice demo. I was always curious about the drone sounds created by this beautiful instrument.
Amazing! Thank you sooo much!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for this amazing video. I have an app on my phone that can recreate the Tanpura and it's various tunings but I'd love to be able to play the real thing. Your video just helped me take the first step. ❤️
Thanks
Are tambura strings the same a guitar and it not do you sell them?
tanpura strings are different than guitar. I do not sell them. You can purchase them from Musician's Mall USA if you're in the USA.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. As a lute player I appreciate your thorough explanations. Interestingly the production of a good sound on the lute works similarly by holding the fingers parallel to the strings in order to push them towards the soundboard.
All best wishes! Andreas
how cool! Thanks for sharing this interesting parallel. I love seeing the connections among the world's ancient music traditions. Cheers! - Will
🙏🏻 namaste Will finally found you wow so grateful I bought my Tampura last year I have received minimal help since so all been trial and error so finding you has been a great gift❤️
I would like to chat to you re advice about tuning variations re my 4 string female Tambura 🙏🏻
Hello Fiona, Wonderful. Some nice variations for the 4-string are - Pa-Ni-Sa-Sa, ma-Dha-Sa-Sa. and Pa-ni-Sa-Sa. What key to you tune in? Would note names be better than sargam? Cheers!
@@WillMarsh hi Will I'm learning too and having a little difficulty. Could you please explain them in notes rather than sargam? Thanks
Amazing, thanks

Beautiful
Thank you
Nicely done.
Thanks!
👏🏻👍🏼👌🏻
Interesting video very cool . I was wondering what are the instruments in the background?
Google: "Sitar" /// I think the one hanging upside down is another tanpura.
@@nancyjanemahler9555 cool thank you Bud
Hi Matthew, From left to right - My traditional sitar, my electric sitar, a persian setar and a fender stratocaster :)
actually the one hanging upside is a persian setar.
@@WillMarsh Awesome assortment of instruments!
I have heard that the tanpura player is supposed to breathe in rhythm with the playing of the tanpura. If that is so, how does the breathing rhythm fit with the playing rhythm? When do you breathe in? When do you breathe out?
I've never heard that before. The tanpura simply plays in a way to keep the drone going throughout the entire performance.
First of all God bless your soul for these lessons. I bought a sitar a while back and you help me significantly.
Now I have a question, can you stand where you are in the video? It looks like the ceiling is very low!
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad these videos have been helpful. Haha no, you cannot stand where these videos were shot as it is beneath a loft bed.
Hi! is it the tanpura that produces the sound in the first 6 seconds of this video??
Hello! no, that is the sound of the sitar. It's the strumming of the sympathetic strings also known as tariff strings. Hope that helps. Best
How long would you say it takes to properly play the tanpura ?
And how many hours per week would you recommend one must practice ?
Tanpura is really just about getting the right touch and learning to tune precisely. It's not difficult like sitar or tabla. One could practice for 20-30minutes a day and become proficient within a month.
Thank you for good instruction on this Tanpura's instrument. I like that size you have demonstrating. Are you selling that instrument?
You're welcome. Yes you can purchase this tanpura here www.willmarshmusic.com/shop/p/tanpura
How long do you have to fry it in oil?
That is TEMPURA. This is a Tanpura.
@@cobalt._.27 You mean I can’t eat this?
@@TORTYRUCKELSDADDY10 any instrument is edible if you chew hard enough 👍
I have one of this tanpura but strings are rusted. I need a replacement kit. Would you be able to help me in this?
surely. I recommend this music store in California. You can call them to make sure you're getting the proper strings. www.musiciansmallusa.com/
Just check eBay and to be even more sure buy some strings from India. Unlike the instruments themselves the strings should be cheap. If you already found them can you tell us how and where?
Amazon.
hallo! thank you for you video: very usefull ❤️. I have to replace my tampura sting but I lost the correct order! Male tampura, 4 string. Can you help me please? (I bought a 2 hand tanpura with missed strings..). In the string pack there are a bronzed one (bigger) , 2 equal metal (thiner) and a metal (medium). Please can you suggest me the correct order?
Hi there, OK you'll want the thinnest metal string as your first string 1.(pa - our order is high - low) then the second thin metal string, 2. (sa) then the thicker metal string 3.(sa) and last the bronze string 4.(low sa). I hope this helps!
Can somebody please tell me what websites are reliable to order a tan ours drone or other Indian instruments? Maybe not sitar since the good quality sitar’s cannot be cheap. But maybe a drone is easier to mess up when constructing.
I import quality tanpuras and you can order via my website. www.willmarshmusic.com/shop/p/tanpura

Hey Will. I find it difficult to play the tambura and keep the talam at the same time. How do I reconcile this?
Start by doing very simple paltas in taal while playing tanpura. Gradually you'll develop more ease with playing the tanpura and singing in taal. Cheers!
@@WillMarsh Thank you Will.❤️👍🙏
I want
Can u please write the 4 Notes Names and Pitches in the Description box....thanks
Surely. the basic tuning for 5-string from high to low in the key of C is - G-C-C-C-C (oct. lower). For 4-string G-C-C-C (oct. lower). I also cover some tuning variations for different melodies in this video.
@@WillMarsh Thanks mate.
Put more videos
Well since you asked nicely lol
The second and third Sa sounds quite off.
Hi
is it recommended to play with long nails or somethin?
Long nails aren't necessary to play tanpura. however I've noticed that a little bit of nail helps with the tone.
@@WillMarsh try with a guitar pick, that would be interesting
Is that all? You just sit there and pluck the same thing forever!?
forever.
yes, great isn't it!!
