Wood, wax and wire

Our workshop through a working week: logs in the store, frets set in wax, skins drying in the courtyard, and the evening hour when every instrument is played.

Seven makers, one courtyard, and wood that waits.

Our makers carve, fret and tune every veena in a courtyard workshop behind the shop. The jackwood comes from Panruti and rests under our roof for three years before a chisel touches it, so it does not crack in a dry Delhi winter or a Chennai monsoon.
