*Good Condition

*Orgingal Thanjavur Hand-made Veena

*It is unique in Thanjavur because the instrument is made from a particular strain of matured jack fruit tree found only in that area. It has a large, round body with a thick, wide neck, the end of which is carved into the head of a dragon. A small resonator is attached to the underside of the neck. The veena has 24 metal frets embedded in hardened bees-wax, mixed with charcoal powder.

*The veena is about four feet in length consisting of a large resonator (kudam), a wooden bridge (kudurai), a tapering hollow neck (dandi), and a small resonator.
