Saarang Miraj
Digital Tanpura

The latest model in the line of digital tanpuras invented by Radel is the Saarang Miraj, an all-in-one tanpura. 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. The Saarang Miraj has been designed specially for the professional musician who would like the facility to tune each note of the tanpura personally. The Saarang Miraj uses sampler technology to produce the natural sound of the traditional 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. As with all Radel products, the Saarang Miraj too comes with a host of other facilities:

Accurate pitch-pipe with digital display. Facility to fine-tune all notes.  Digital display Automatic saving of user settings SMPS facility to use on any voltage from 90V to 260V AC. Built-in battery facility with automatic switch-over to batteries in case of power failure.  A sleek, compact, unbreakable ABS cabinet.
