Shiva Veena, a plucked fretted string instrument, is a redesign of the Saraswathi Veena, using modern solid-body electric guitar-making tools, materials, parts and techniques. This is durable, portable and comfortable for the player, providing good tonal quality. Tarangini Veena served as a validation to make this instrument. Each string has an individual adjustable bridge that allows for precise scale tuning and height adjustment. Shiva Veena is designed for playing into an amplifier for sound clarity.
