The Southern Veena was brought into use by Raghunatha Naik, a ruler of Tanjavoor, consisting of twenty four fixed frets.
The body is hollowed out of a block of wood. The neck is attached to the stem having a weird figure like the head of a dragon.
There are seven strings in all.
The Vichitra Veena of the North and a rare instrument, was introduced by Ustad Abdul Ajij Khan, a court musician at Indore.
It is of comparatively recent origin. It has a broad stem and six main strings are fastened to wooden pegs fixed to the other end.
It is played by means of a plectrum on the right hand finger.
