Personal Info:
Description: The Mohan Veena is a modified slide guitar that has become a unique Indian classical instrument. Invented by Grammy Award-winning musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, it integrates design elements from traditional Indian instruments like the sitar, sarod, and veena. It typically has 19 to 21 strings, including melody, drone, and sympathetic strings, which resonate to produce a deep, rich sound.
Playing Technique:The instrument is played with a metal slide called a 'mizrāb' while sitting cross-legged, with the instrument across the lap. The Mohan Veena allows for the expressive bending of notes and intricate melodic patterns characteristic of Indian classical music, offering a blend of guitar technique with the soul of Indian ragas.
