Bheema Tanpura Pro

Mukunda Haveri

About this app

Bheema Tanpura, concert quality tanpura synthesizer is optimized for both tablets and phones.

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.

* 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

The previous version was great and I had given it 5 stars, but the recent update with Bharati I and Bharati II profiles have serious issues : 1) sound stopped. Sent an email. Finally had to reinstall to get back sound. 2) shuts down after few minutes of playing in the background, if another application is in the foreground. Earlier it played in the background with no issues. Needs correction asap, as a tabla app often needs to play in the foreground, with the Bheema Tanpura in the background.

Update: There was no sound after the New update. I firstly uninstalled on the date of update and reinstalled to check if it was working, it didn't work. Later I gave feedback here. After a few days I checked the app. It didn't work only. Again I uninstalled and reinstalled it again and it worked. So if the issue continues in your pro version, uninstall and reinstall the app. It should work.

This is irrefutably the best Tanpura app for Android (been using since 2020)! With 'pick swara' feature for all six strings added in the latest version makes it a mini Swar Mandal and has a beautiful resonance with alluring tone! Commendable work by Mukund ji! I strongly recommend using this Tanpura app to every music practitioner! *Note: After updated version A58 was launched on Nov 12th 2024, there was absolutely no volume. Updating the app resolved the issue. Thanks to Mukund ji!
