The Tamil Isai Minicom is an example of how technology can be used to preserve and promote cultural heritage, and it's great to see innovative initiatives like this that combine music, culture, and technology!
Busy professionals who cannot commit to weekly lessons use the Minicom for self-study. They can load a Varnam in Kamboji raga and play it along with the device's accompaniment feature.
