If you go to Bangalore...Veena Player

If you go to Bangalore and happen to be in the Basvangudi area of South Bangalore you just might luck out and stumble upon Raju, a traditional craftsman that is a fast disappearing breed in this city.

In this video clip Raju explains how he makes his veena, a traditional Indian music instrument.

This video is in Tamil and English

did the veena get its sweet sound from the jackfruit or the jackfruit got its sweetness from the sweet sound of the veena.. What an amazing instrument. I cry when i play this great divine instrument. Thanks to you Sir, for making these instruments and continuing the vedic tradition in music.

Hey Hey - Watch your language - go get an education. This is music we are talking about. Using Vulgar language does not mean your are clear in conveying your message

I felt amused of the way the programme was compered.She was not able to clearly explain that the Veena was made out of the Jack tree and not the fruit. Alas!

Interesting. I'm looking for information related to getting the frets applied. I have a Veena but the wax holding the frets broke away and it all needs to be replaced. Any measurements, diagrams or techniques in doing this would be greatly appreciated

What a great country we are... Instead of enjoying the video everybody is fighting abt the language.

here i don't see "Unity in diversity".

You are a real Son of a bitch... you dickhead...

Even Gandhi (Gujarati) is non-hindi and Bhagat Singh(punjabi) is also non hindi.

First learn the history before trying to make some intelligent comments asshole.
