This 58 inch long male tanpura is made by A. B. Satarmaker, master craftsman of Miraj India. The city of Miraj is known to produce the finest tanpura in the world. The typical north Indian tanpura, favored by Hindustani musicians, is known as the Miraj style. The ABS tanpuras have been hand crafted in Miraj for over 100 years by four generations of the Balasaheb family. The art of tanpura and sitar making has been honed and improved from father to son. The Balasaheb family has perfected innovations to improve the look and sound of the instrument. They skillfully cut the pumpkin gourd to create the correct shape, and join the gourd and body pieces with precision. They understand how the thickness of the wood body and neck will affect the tone of the instrument and take great care to craft the structures of even thickness. The progenitor of the Balasaheb family originally made his tanpura from teak. Today, this wood is becoming scarce and is too costly to use. ABS tanpuras are crafted from seasoned toon wood. The ABS tanpuras are characterized by accurate woodwork, precise joining, artful decorations, and attention to the finishing and Jawari (tuning) work. The result is a light weight instrument of high sound quality that will last for years to come. The current proprietor, A. B. Satarmaker, is as proud of his tanpura as he is proud of his family. The AMB/Miraj maker's mark is inlayed on the soundboard above the bridge. The tanpura is an Indian drone instrument known for its rich sound. It resembles the sitar in size and shape, but has no frets and no sympathetic strings. Most Tanpura have four strings tuned to the tonic, a few have 5 or 6 strings. The name of the instrument has a number of variations, including: tanpura, tanpoora, tambura, thamboora, thambura, and tamboora. Male tanpuras are larger than the female. The decorative inlays may vary, but all are artfully carved. Includes wooden case. Requires special truck delivery. Minimize

Most exciting is that the soundboard bracing pattern follows bracing used in world-famous Kohno classical guitars. The mahogany neck has a shape is similar to a classical guitar with a 51mm (2 inch) wide nut of ebony. The top of the peg box has a woman's head carved on the top. Using standard nylon classical guitar strings, it is tuned like a guitar in e, b, G, D, A, E tuning. If it is to be used for lute music, the 3rd string may be tuned a semi-tone down to F# to enable lute fingering. The guitar is outfitted with traditional lute-style ebony friction pegs.

The Zachary Taylor designed 5-course and 6-stringed guitars ... Read more

The Zachary Taylor designed 5-course and 6-stringed guitars are based on the instruments made by René Voboam. Voboam represented the height of French instrument building in the 17th century. Taylor's major influence was a marvelous 1641 model, located in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England. The word 'course', when used in the guitaristic sense, refers to more than one string. Most often, it is two, but on some instruments you will find three strings. A common, modern example is the mandolin and bouzouki, both with double strings. On the Baroque guitar, two strings in a course can be tuned in unison or in octaves. When octaves are used for the lower strings, one of the strings is usually tuned an octave higher than the standard string, producing a bright and lively sound. To satisfy players of conventional classical and acoustic guitars, Mid-East and Zachary Taylor agreed to produce a 6-stringed model. This version of the Voboam has become a successful fusion of styles with great appeal for those who enjoy playing an instrument with a rich history. The 5-course version can be used to play more modern pieces, being that it is tuned similarly to a 6-stringed version without the lowest course. For reliability and security of intonation, both the 5-course and 6-stringed guitars are fitted with eight, fixed, solid nickel silver frets.  For the more traditional players, these instruments are available with tied nylon frets which are adjustable to the player's preference.  The tied nylon fret models are available on a special order basis with production time being approximately 9-12 months.  Modifications were made to the original design, including the reduction of inlaid decoration, which contributed little to the guitar's sound or functionality Minimize
