		Tambura is an instrument, which is closely related to the leut or the lute, with Russian balalaika, with Ukrainian bandura, with Italian mandolin, with Spanish guitar and other instruments which developed from the same origin in the former Persia that is Iran now.
		The name „tambura“ or „tanpura“ is also used for the instruments in India, which resemble the sitar and the surbahar, which are by the appearance and kind of playing very similar to the tamburitza.
		„The Assyrian Tambura" from that 3 rd century B.C., which was found as a picture cut in the stone, we cannot obviously call „Farkaš's Brač”, although the similarity is striking, because Milutin Farkaš was born 23 centuries later, in the 1856.

	The Hindu : The electronic distraction at concerts
		When the audience hears the tambura, it is as a background sound that is at once melodious and refined that barely draw one's attention.
		In fact the electronic tambura appears to be basically designed to occupy the sound space because it is possible to increase its volume inordinately and it can sometimes be heard even before the curtain has risen.
		Thus while the very beautiful background sound of the tambura remained almost imperceptible to the audience, the noise pollution of this electronic gadget is, often, uncomfortably loud enough to lamentably destroy one's listening pleasure.

		The tambura is the acoustic potential for the whole harmonic series; and, as such, represents the cosmic potential for all apparent phenomena.
		Although the tambura is tuned with three strings tuned to the tonic (in Indian music we call this tonic Sa or shadja) and one string to the fourth or fifth, we can find all twelve notes in the harmony that is created by the four strings vibrating simultaneously.
		When a musician plays or sings along with the balanced stroking of the tambura, it is not the case that he hears two different sounds-the droned tonic of the tambura and the sound of his voice or instrument.

		The tambura is an indian classical string instrument, the evolution of the tambur (an instrument close to the tambura but of smaller size).
		In the XIXth century, this instrument was smaller, because its main resonator is made of a pumkin and big pumkins were not available in India.
		But the special drone effect results from the flat bridge or jawari, which increases enormously the spectrum of the notes and links the strings' vibration.

		So far, we started with The Tamburas of Pandit Pran Nath, which was a recording we made actually in 1982, you know La Monte tunedit's two tamburas that La Monte tuned for several hours to really achieve a perfect tuning and then we recorded, I guess the original recording is about an hour.
		One is we wrote very extensive notes on the tambura, so the combination of the recording also brings people information about this great instrument, the tambura, which is coming down in history from India, it's just the most remarkable instrument; it's the only instrument that's designed to play harmonics continuously.
		You know, the tambura looks easy to play and it is easy to play superficially, but to play it well, so that it just really is a continuously droning sound, you don't hear any of the clunk that you could hear of the strings, because they're not plucked, they're stroked.
