How is the Tambura played?
The tambura is a long-necked plucked stringed instrument. The body shape of the tambura somewhat resembles that of the sitar, but it has no frets - only the open strings are played to accompany other musicians. It has four or five (rarely six) wire strings, which are plucked one after another in a regular pattern to create a harmonic resonance on the basic note, and creates a drone sound. It is held upright in front of the musician who is seated. The musician steadies the instrument with one hand and plucks with the other. While not a difficult instrument to play, it is designed to accompany other instruments (such as the sitar or sarod) and never played as a solo instrument.

The most common stringed instrument in antiquity was the lyre, or its larger cousin, the kithara. These were generally enjoyed by the 'upper crust' more than anyone else, which is why they are shown so frequently in art and literature from the era. A simple lute, known as the Pandora or pandura, was far more common among the lower classes. Its ancestors, the panduri, tambura, bandore and any other instrument with a similar name, are still in use today.
