This is an
artistic digital tanpura with an exquisitely crafted cabinet. It has
beautiful natural tanpura sound using the latest sampler technology, and
can be used as a 4 or 5 string tanpura. The Sparshini has automatic
tuning of 4 notes, and manual tuning of 5th note. The unique feature in
the Saarang Sparshini is the touch-sensitive string sensors - it can be
plucked and played like a traditional tanpura. A perfectly tuned note is
produced on touching each string. It can however also be used as an
automatically played tanpura. Auto tuning of all 4 notes has been
provided in both modes of operation. The Saarang Sparshini is the ideal
instrument for use in concerts. It looks and sounds like a traditional
tanpura. An extra speaker in the stem extension provides sound at
ear-level.
