The tradition of playing the tambura has lasted for centuries in Serbia. Until the Great Migration of the Serbs at the end of the 17th century the type of tambura most frequently used had a long neck and two or three strings (sometimes doubled).

The movable neck frets are arranged so as to allow the playing of modes according to Pythagoras’ theory of intervals. The body of the instrument is made of gourd, from which gusle, pipes, rattles and household objects can also be made.

There are several types of tambura, with three to four strings. The basic forms are samica (three double strings), bisernica (two double strings and two single strings; four tones), prim (one double string and three single strings; four tones), bas-prim or brač (two double strings and two single strings; four tones), čelović (two double strings and two single strings; four tones), čelo (four strings), bas or berda (four strings), and bugarija or kontra (two double strings and one single string; three tones). The names of the instruments and method of playing them depends on the tuning of the strings. In music, tuning is the process of producing or preparing to produce a certain pitch in relation to another, usually at the unison but often at some other interval. ...

A few other modifications are available: the cello-tambura - a synthetic instrument made for the first time somewhere in the early 50s by a player (most of those were part-time luthiers) in the Ensemble of the National Radio. It was build to fill in the frequency gap in the traditional Bulgarian folk band, has six strings tuned GDAE or GDAD in four courses - the first two strings are doubled and the lower two are single. Even today it is not a very common instrument, though a few bands (like Isihia, Bulgara, Om, etc.) in Bulgaria use it as a solo instrument. Its sound is much more mellow than the tambura, but also quite deep and rich in tone. A few years later a bass-tambura was also made, again by the same person. It is actually a bass-guitar, but with a pear-shaped hollow body. Also there are the so called Pirin tamburas which only have six strings in three courses - usually tuned DAD - the two lower strings are used as drones and the first (and rarely the second) are used as melody strings. There is another kind of synthetic instrument - the soprano-tambura which is actually something between mandolin and baglama - its higher pitch and strong, sharp sound are perfect for solos, but the instrument is not very common since it does not really sound too good if played alone. All the members of the tamburas family have no ribs. The body is normally made of single piece hardwood and is pear-shaped, but also there are old examples of luteback tamburas made with the technique of bending and gluing thin pieces of wood together. The members of Isihia Album cover of Isihia (2001) Isihia (Bulgarian: ИÑихиÑ, hesychia) are a Bulgarian music band founded in 2000, the style of which unites elements of Bulgarian folklore and Hesychast Christian chant of the 14th century to create an atmosphere of Balkan spiritual mysticism. ...

India A tambura (South India) or tanpura (North India) is a long-necked Indian lute, unfretted and round-bodied. The neck is hollow, and it has four or five (rarely, six) wire strings, which are plucked one after another in a regular pattern to create a tonic resonance field (bourdon or drone function) Hindustani classical music tanpura come in different sizes: bigger "males" and smaller "females". Male players/musicians pitch their tonic note (Sa) to C#, female singers usually a fifth higher. The male instrument has an open string length of one metre, the female is sized down to 3/4. The standard tuning is 5881 sol do' do' do or in Indian sargam: PA sa sa SA. For ragas that omit the fifth, the first string will be tuned down to the natural fourth: 4881 or Ma sa sa Sa. With a five-string instrument, the seventh or NI (natural minor or major 7th) is added: PA NI sa sa SA (57881). Both the instrument and how it is played look very simple, though in fact it takes a lot of experience and a very good ear to tune and play the tanpura. The special overtone-rich sound is achieved by applying the principle of jivari which creates a rich buzzing sound in which particular harmonics will ring out clearly.

It is designed in three different styles:
- Miraj style: the favourite form of tanpura for Hindustani performers; it is usually between three to five feet in length, with a well-rounded resonator plate (tabali) and a long, hollow straight neck. The round lower chamber to which the tabli and the neck (dandh) are fixed is actually a selected and dried gourd (tumba).
- Tanjore style: this is a south Indian style of tambura, used widely by Carnatic music performers. It has somewhat different shape and style of decoration from that of the Miraj, but is otherwise much the same size. Typically, no gourd is used, but the spherical part is gouged out of a solid block of wood. The neck is somewhat smaller in diameter.
- Tamburi: this style has became more popular recently, due to its small size and portability. It is two to three feet long, with a shallow resonator and a slightly curved tabali. It may have from four to six strings. The small five-string tamburi are tuned to the higher octave and are the preferred instruments for providing the drone for solo-performances by string-playing artists, as the lighter, more transparent sound does not drown out the lower register of a sitar, sarod, or sarangi.
