Natural Teak-Finish Tanmandal – 4-String Tanpura & 15-String Swarmandal

Description

Tanmandal: a tanpura and swarmandal in one instrument

Bring a steady drone and shimmering melodic texture into one compact setup. This handcrafted Indian tanmandal pairs a male-type four-string tanpura with a 15-string swarmandal, giving singers, yoga practitioners and devotional musicians two complementary sounds from a single wooden instrument.

Made for drone and melodic accompaniment

Use the tanpura section to establish a continuous tonal foundation, then pluck the swarmandal strings to add flowing notes around a vocal line or instrumental performance. Metal machine tuning heads help with adjustment, while the natural teak-look finish highlights the instrument’s warm wood character.
