Female Tanpura Flatback Travel

MONOJ KUMAR SARDAR

 

MONOJ KUMAR SARDAR & BROTHERS is a large-scale manufacturer in the heart of Calcutta looking back on a rich tradition. The manager Monoj Kumar will get you every instrument that is manufactured in India - ranging from sitars, tanpuras and harmoniums to folk instruments, violins and electric guitars. Due to our co-operation with Monoj Kumar Sardar of several years, today we receive instruments that can compare with renowned brands any time because of their reliably high manufacturing and good tone quality.

CHARACTERISTICS
The female flatback tanpura of Monoj Kumar Sardar is a noble brand-named instrument with particularly compact shape and improved stability. Its sound is as round, carrying, rich in overtones and strong in treble as the sound of traditionally shaped Monoj Kumar Sardar female tanpura. Its wooden structure makes it easier to handle and much less fragile than tanpuras with pumpkin corpus. Material and workmanship are of the highest quality. Its classical design gives it a distinct visual appeal. Standard tonic F sharp - G sharp.

FEATURES
Medium brown stained toonwood, horn bridge, four strings, mirror-finished shellac surfaces, inlay work made of celluloid.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The string vibration on the bridge (and thus the audible overtones) depends upon the angle of the bridge and the tension, thickness and material of the strings. A thread between the string and the bridge allows subtle manipulations of the contact angle. By moving the thread position the buzz of each string can be adjusted individually.
The above description is meant to give a rough orientation. Each instrument is a hand-crafted individual and might differ from the description.
