Body tambura: I use this wonderful instrument again and again in my work. In the video I first sing a Sanskrit mantra before I tell you more about it. The tambura chord, as I like to call it, produces a very beautiful sound and can also be applied to the body for therapeutic purposes. It has been developed by Bernhard Deutz: www.deutz-klangwerkstatt.de
