FOUR INSTRUMENTS. ENDLESS EXPRESSION.

A small ensemble. A world of music.

From the first note to the final phrase, surround your practice with
the unmistakable warmth of real Indian classical instruments.

Tanpura

The melodic foundation

A real tanpura from Miraj, captured in long, continuous studio takes—not short synthesised loops. A naturally unfolding drone that gives every note room to breathe.

Find your pitch: All 20 scales, from A2 to E4, with fine tuning for a precise fit to your voice.
Shape the resonance: Tune the first string to Pa, Ma, Dha or Ni.
Settle into your pace: Adjust the tempo from 40 to 90 BPM for the flow of your practice.

Tabla

The pulse of your practice

Real tabla, played by a professional tabla player and recorded stroke by stroke in a studio. Every bol carries the warmth and character of the original instrument.

32 taals · About 90 variations: From Teentaal, Keherwa and Dadra to rarer dhrupad and pakhawaj taals, including Dhamar, Chautaal and Pancham Sawari.
From vilambit to drut: Move from a slow, spacious pace to a fast, flowing rhythm in all 20 scales, from A2 to E4.
A deeper bayan: Switch on Sur bass tabla for a fuller bass sound on lower scales.
Stay with every beat: A live beat counter follows the bols and marks sam, tali and khali as the taal plays.

Swarmandal

A cascade of melody

Shimmering strings, tuned to your raga. A gentle glow behind your voice and tanpura, bringing a little of the feeling of performance to everyday riyaaz.

Over 100 ragas: Explore favourites such as Yaman, Bhairav and Bhupali, alongside rarer gems.
Every swara belongs: Each string sounds only the notes of your chosen raga—no stray swaras, nothing out of place.
In tune with your raga: See the aaroh and avaroh on screen, while the tanpura’s first string adjusts automatically to suit your selection.
A shimmer at your pace: Set the strumming tempo from slow and airy to a brighter, flowing accompaniment.

Manjira

The timekeeper

Real manjira, recorded in both its ringing, open ‘ching’ and softly damped, closed ‘chak’. A clear, grounding pulse that keeps your practice in the flow.

Two strokes · 20 scales: The open ching and closed chak bring authentic texture to your accompaniment in all 20 scales.
Always with the taal: Play along with any taal. The manjira follows its sections automatically, keeping the rhythm together.
One tap, in or out: Switch it on when you want a little extra pulse, and off when you want more space.
