An online tanpura in A♯

Kali paanch. A♯ belongs to high, luminous female voices — and to young singers whose comfortable Sa is still climbing year by year. It is a key of clarity: at this height there is nowhere for a wavering swar to hide, which is precisely what makes practising here so productive.

A high drone turns brittle easily, so the choice of voice matters: Sangat's deeper voice keeps an A♯ drone round and warm, the brighter one meets the key on its own terms. Both are real plucks, at A♯.

The full tanpura is free: 18 tunings with notes on their use, three plucking styles, fine tuning in cents, no account anywhere in the process. Open it and start where your voice actually lives.
