And as with all our
other MKS instruments, the Hansa Veena has a beautiful floral design inlayed all
along the neck and around the tabli done
by expert craftsmen. The overall good looks and balanced
appearance is enhanced by
the deep red wood tones of the instrument. The French polish finish, which is exceptionally done,
rounds out this outstanding instrument.
The shine is mirror like. |

The Hansa Veena comes with mechanical pegs that have been incorporated
into a very classical upper neck. The upper neck Swan (hansa)
brings out the beauty of this instrument. The craftsmen out did
themselves in the design of this remarkable instrument. The label
clearly states the name of this well known sitar maker. |

The swan carving at
the top of the neck of the Hansa Veena is exquisite, not overbearing,
and handsome in appearance. |

The string layout is eight main strings on mechanical pegs and 13
sympathetic strings along the neck of this wonderful instrument. Frets
are simulated with inlays as well as inlayed position indicators to assist
the musician and student. The Hansa Veena is played with a
stainless steel slide which is also provided. |

A fiberglass case comes standard with the MKS Hansa Veena. Also, all our MKS
