eTanpura Saarang Magic Plus
VEGANSaarang Magic Plus is an easy to use, extremely small and sturdy electronic tanpura with a fairly good sound. Perfect accompaniment for Indian classical and any other kind of modal music, for overtone singing, chanting of mantras and bhajans at home and on the road.
The sample technology of all Saarang e-tanpuras is identical. The audible sound therefore depends upon the integrated speakers. Saarang Magic has only one small speaker, therefore the sound is mono and relatively thinner compared to other Saarang versions.
VEGAN - without parts of animal bodies or substances produced by animals
