Mohan Veena-Slide Guitar



The mohan veena is a modified slide guitar with an excellent sound, sympathetic strings and unique playing options. It is traditionally held like a Hawaiian guitar, being placed flat in one’s lap. The melody is articulated on the left by means of a heavy polished steel cylinder slide without pressing the string down – the weight of the slide is enough to get a clear sound.

The slide is freely movable along the playing strings, facilitating the typical sliding melody fluctuations, which guitarists know e.g. from bottleneck playing. The mohan veena is plucked on the right side, using finger picks. Even when unamplified the mohan veena has a powerful full sound, which is particularly enhanced by the silvery overtones of the sympathetic strings and drone strings. The mohan veena offers all possibilities of differentiated melodic and rhythmical play common in Indian raga music, providing many possibilities in other music styles as well. Comes with a fibreglass case.
