Tanpura is a string instrument that is plucked to help Indian classical musicians practice. Tanpura-App is my attempt to emulate that experience using Cinder and C++.
With this app, you can practice with tanpura in every key in the major scale. Additionally, you can also adjust the volume of the Tanpura.
Happy Practicing!
