vina
Vīṇā (वीणा); a lute, a long-necked stringed instrument with globular resonator;
A stringed musical instrument, the favourite of Sarasvatī. It consists of a longish hollow cylindrical shaft (cf. vina-danda), with a number of keys on its sides.
A string or wire is attached to each of these keys and they are stretched to be tied at the lower end, where there is a square sounding box. At the upper end is a hollow gourd which serves as a resonator.
