Veena

South India's great classical string instrument, and the Carnatic counterpart to the sitar's place in the north.

Carved from jackfruit wood with twenty-four fixed frets, played seated with the resonator across the lap. More people search us for veenas than almost anything else we could stock more of, and we are honest that our selection is small and growing.

Which veena is this? The Saraswati veena, the Carnatic concert instrument.

Veena or sitar? Fixed brass frets on a solid wooden neck rather than the sitar's movable arched frets, Carnatic repertoire rather than Hindustani, and a warmer, rounder voice with less of the sitar's buzz.

How does something this size ship? In a fitted, heavily padded crate. It is a large one-piece instrument and we pack it accordingly. Dimensions and weight are on the product page.

$309 to $1,919. Prices include free shipping to the USA, UK, Germany, Australia and many more countries.
