This unique tanpura can be used as an automatic 4-string tanpura, a manually tuned 4-string tanpura, a 5-string tanpura or a 6-string tanpura.

What this means is that the Saarang Miraj and all Radel Digital tanpuras (tamburas) have the actual digital recording of a traditional tanpura on a chip, which, by means of embedded software, is then used to produce the various notes.

The traditional tanpura usually has 4 strings, tuned to a particular set of notes. The facility of the 5th or 6th string is provided in some traditional tanpuras, to enable the artist to tune the 5th and 6th string to any note suitable to the raga that is being performed.
