How to play
- Release both the front and back bellows
- Turn the white covers sideways to select a single drone or combine several
- Pump the top bellow continuously with one hand
The sustain is the point of this box: the drone stays consistent and sonorous even when the bellow strokes are irregular, and it keeps sounding for a while after you stop pumping. Volume follows pumping speed.
Open the packing as soon as it arrives so the instrument can air and settle into tune. Keep it away from direct heat and damp.
Shipping & payment
Our largest instruments, full-size tanpuras and surbahars, travel as dedicated freight rather than at a standard rate, so their shipping is quoted individually.
Payment is by card link for orders up to $700, or bank transfer for any amount. Import duties, where your country charges them, are payable on delivery and are not included in the price.
