My Invention the Swar Veena

The Swar Veena
C & P prakashsontakke
A combination of the Swar Mandal and the Vichitra Veena on the Indian style and it also produces sounds closer to the Dulcimer , Resophonic Guitars and the Dobros and the King of all the Lap Steel .I have been greatly inspired by musicians like Guitarist Jeff Beck , Bob Brozman ,Joe Wright , Ben Harper , Stacy Phillips and off course Pt Vishamohan Bhatt and Pt Debashish Bhattacharya
