The tamboura is India's ancient stringed instrument. its resonant, hypnotic quality is one of the most distinctive features of Indian classical music.

If a yogi listens with undivided attention to the sounds of strigned instruments where resonance is prolonged, he will finally be absorbed in the space of Consciousness and will attin the state of the Self. --- Vijnana Bhairava

The sound of the tamboura resonates with the primordial sound "Om" from which all melodies arise and into which they subside. Accompanied by the tambura, melodies no longer sound like separate notes but blend together into an ocean of sound that quiets the mind and soothes the heart.
