What is the specific quality difference between this model and the other (pdi-dic)? i am trying to make an educated purchase.

This model comes from Maharaja Brand and is manufactured in Delhi. The modek (PDI-DIC) comes from MKS in Kolkata

Is there a frequent tuning?

Not sure if there's a frequent tuning, but I found C to be the easiest. The Tanpura strings (starting from the bass/edge of the box) CccG, and I started on the Swarmandal at g, and hitting most of the C scale notes up from there, and repeating until I ran out of strings (I was afraid of breaking strings - this works very well), doubling some C and G notes, and sometimes I make it Major with an E, and sometimes Minor with an Eb, and sometimes both (m3rd in the lower strings M3rd in the higher strings); I think I threw in a Maj7th (B note) and added 9th (D note) - it really depends on the notes you or someone will sing or play along... Have fun with it and feel free to experiment, or triple 1sts, 3rds and/or 5ths: I think D tuning would be about as easy... I'm a lefty, so I play the Tanpura part w/my right hand, as it's meant to be played, but use a thumb and finger picks (Banjo style) for the Swarmandal, as opposed to a flatpick, so I can get a lot of mojo out of it, and because I'm used to playing guitar w/my left hand in that fashion. Weird, but pretty cool...

Spare strings for Tanpura

I am a vocalist of Indian classical music and instrument collection is my hobby. I am happy with Swarmandal+Tanpura, string instrument. Usually any new string instrument includes one full set of spare strings. Here spare steel strings for Swarmandal is included but nothing for Tanpura which are different in thicknesses and made of steel, bronze and brass. I hope the seller will include this in their next sales and also send me these spare strings. Thanks.
