~ Family
Description
One of the two subfamilies of Indian chordophones, the South Indian gourd lute used in classical Carnatic music has a single gourd music-box (sometimes a secondary small resonator gourd) with an often hollow neck.
Commonly called just "veena" or "vina", the representative is Saraswati veena, and credits to just "veena" are usually that.
