Tritantri vina

Tritantri vina

Tritantri vina or tritantri veena, is an Indian plucked string instrument with three strings.

Tritantri vina is built from a single piece of wood, about 100 cm in length. It has a small resonator, about 20 cm in diameter, carved of the same log. The neck is topped with 16 metal frets set in wax on wooden tracks, and a tuning box with three pegs. Legends state that when poet Ameer Khusrau came to India from Persia, he made some minor changes and named it sehtara.[1]
