Tanpura E minor/G

Snippets from recordings of me playing the tanpura.
The strings are tuned to B, D, G and E, so would work well in the keys of G or E minor.

I noticed that my first pack of tanpura samples has a bit of fuzzy white noise so in this pack I have equalized - I reduced all the very high frequencies which got rid of most of the white noise without affecting the low frequency sounds of the tanpura itself.

Please note this is the tanpura part of an instrument called the Swar Sangam which combines the Swarmandal (Indian Harp) and the Tanpura, it is not a traditional tanpura and does sound slightly different.

Thank you! I like ethnic sounds. I just want to make a sample for my VSTs instruments.
