Important Instructions for Veena Students

The Veena is a beautiful and sacred instrument. Understanding its parts and how to care for it is crucial for every student.

Basic Parts of Your Veena

Here are the main components of your Veena:

• Kudam (Resonator Pot / Body): The large, hollow wooden body that amplifies sound.

• Dandi (Neck): The long, hollow wooden arm extending from the Kudam.

• Mettu (Frets): Brass or steel arcs on the Dandi that define the notes.

• Kudurai / Kuthirai (Bridge): Includes the main bridge on the Kudam and a smaller side bridge for drone strings.

• Tantri (Strings): The playing strings and drone strings that produce the sound.

• Birudai / Suramandal (Tuning Pegs): Wooden pegs at the top for tuning the strings.

• Yali Mukham (Lion’s Head / Dragon’s Head): The decorative, often carved, head at the end of the Dandi.

• Tumba (Secondary Resonator / Gourd): A smaller resonator at the upper end, contributing to balance and resonance.

Essential Veena Care for Students

Proper care maintains your Veena’s sound, appearance, and longevity. Treat your Veena with reverence; it is considered Goddess Saraswati herself. Always gently touch and offer a silent prayer before and after playing.

• Gentle Handling:

  • Always pick up and put down your Veena with utmost care.

  • Never drop or bump it; avoid holding it by the neck alone.

• Proper Storage:

  • Always store your Veena in its protective case when not in use.

  • Avoid Extremes: Keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, damp areas, or prolonged exposure to air conditioning.

  • Store safely away from pets and small children.

• Regular Cleaning:

  • Dust Regularly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the entire instrument.

  • Wipe Strings: After each use, wipe strings with a clean, dry cloth to prevent rust.

• String Maintenance:

  • Check for rust; change dull or broken strings promptly (always keep spares handy!).

• Tuning Pegs:

  • Tune gently; never force stiff pegs. Report any issues (too loose or too tight) to your guru immediately.

• Inspect & Report:

  • Regularly check your Veena for any damage (cracks, loose frets).

  • Always inform your guru immediately about any issues; never attempt complex repairs yourself.
