What traditional music is there on the wall ?

There’s a traveler’s Tanpura, an Oud, a Bendir drum, a Tar drum, several more hoop drums, an electric guitar, and not pictured are the mandolin, Luthieros lyre, and mountain dulcimer. Plus innumerable flutes, two harps, a piano, an acoustic guitar, two darboukas, and a sitar ❤️ Nobody ever accused me of being a minimalist! 😂 Shoutout to @ThePaganMidwitch , my wife and co-collector

I can’t wait to get our music room together. Nice drums - is that a base sitar?

That’s a tanpura! A “traveler’s tanpura” actually, so it doesn’t have the resonator and thus sounds a little thinner. Still has the beautiful overtones you’d expect from Indian strings though When you get your music room together, post it and tag me in a comment, it would be great to see !

So cool - I’ll have to look up the tanpura . More of a brass guy but mad respect for the finger pickers!

Ancient and beautiful, the tanpura is an important foundation of Indian Classical music. I hope you enjoy learning about it!
