Tamboori

The tamboori (also called a tambra) is a long-necked bowed string instrument found in Indian music.

A tamboori is played as a melodic instrument, unlike the tanpura.

Each string has a fundamental tone with its own spectrum of overtones, which makes a rich and vibrant sound, due to interactive harmonic resonance that will support the external tones played by the soloist.

The name tamboori is derived from tama or tana, referring to a musical phrase, and borri, or bori which means "vibrant".

It has six metal strings, which are bowed to create a harmonic resonance on the basic notes of a key.
