Mohan Veena Deluxe - fully carved version with top gourd

Bought this brand new from Rain City music Washington USA . The owner hand selected this instrument out of a bunch as the best. Very resonant and alive sounding. This is the top of the line model. There is a picture of where a pickup was mounted into the wood which is now removed. It ended up sounding better miced up with a reall microphone. Item is in pretty much the exact condition as i bought it new apart from the small screw holes . 

Here is a description directly from rain city music's website ...

This is the Hindustandi slide guitar ~ Mohan Veena offered by Bhabasindhu Biswas of Concord Musical Industries. Bhabasindhu is the maker of Hansa Veena & Mohan Veena for ALL of the leading musicians including Barun Kumar Pal, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt & Debashish Bhattacharyya. It is his fanciest model

These instruments are of the same type as played by Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and Debashish Bhattacharya. In the Bhatt style it features 7 main playing strings and 13 sympathetics. A very resonant tone and fantastic sympathetic response. The fretboard is hardwood, the main body is Indian mahogany and the top is pine wood. No plywood has been used, this wood combination is the final result of 15 years of trying various combinations and has been found to work the best tonally. Comes with a bar, picks, fiberglass case with wheels, and an extra set of strings. Look for more instruments from Bhabasindhu including Hansa Veena in the future!
