Bheema Tanpura

About this app

Bheema Tanpura, is a concert quality tanpura synthesizer, with 6 strings and advanced controls.

I am a signal processing engineer by profession and Hindustani classical singer by passion. I have developed this app after rigorous analysis of the resonance of instrument. Connect your android device to good speakers and enjoy the sound in high fidelity. Ideally place the speakers at least 3 to 4 feet away for the best effect.

I have included several digitized tanpura profiles. Use them and adjust the tempo/pluck-style to get the best combination that suits your taste.

The fully functional version will run for few minutes before terminating.

FYI : My great grand father made wonderful tanpuras from wood, about 80 years ago and in this digital age I have taken to computing !!! I will update the app with the profile of the only available tanpura he made..

* About Bheema Tanpura *

"This application takes its name from one of the greatest hindustani classical singers of our times, Pt Bhimsen Joshi, the maestro of Kiraana School of North-Indian classical music. He has been an inspiration for me and I belong to his school of Music; this software is a tribute to that great personality"


Enjoy the Naada and your new pair of tanpuras

Ratings and reviews

I just want one more feature to be added. When we click on each element's title, the values should reset to the default ones. Example: Click on the title "Tempo", the value resets to 80. Otherwise, it is a great app. The UI, design, controls, range of different settings... everything, is great.

Hi, I have a few questions about the Bheema Tanpura Pro app. 1. Does the app support Google TalkBack and Samsung in-built voice assistant? 2. Alternatively, is there a way for accessing voice support on the app for features and general navigation? The person interested in purchasing the app is visually impaired. Hence, checking. Any guidance on this will be of great help. Thank you

I'm using this on S10. I am not able to run this more than 5mins. I hear a clutter sound and I have to unlock the phone and open the app to bring it to foreground to run it. I get a message also saying the same. Please help.
