Electric Veena, a plucked string instrument, is a self-contained, portable electronic variant with a built-in Tanpura. Inbuilt amplifier and speaker dispense the need to carry an external speaker. This instrument produces a sweet melodious tone, enhanced volume, increased sustenance of notes; enabling long passages to be played with fewer plucks. It has adjustable frets on a wooden fret board, eliminating the delicate wax fret board and the trouble of re-fretting periodically.
