Designing and developing a Bharat Veena/ Shruti Veena was an insightful experience.
I would like to thank Mr. Sajid Mirajkar and Mr. Matin Mirajkar of Yusuf Mirajkar Musicals, Pune for making it possible. I am impressed by their enthusiasm and readiness to explore possibilities and make the necessary changes while making a new instrument such as a Bharat Veena/ Shruti Veena.
Following are some of the unique moments in the process of making the Bharat Veena / Shruti Veena.
