22 Sruti Veena

Thanks to the amazing work done by the following expert craftsmen who worked on this instrument. Rex Kropf - Luthier, replaced fingerboard, installed frets and finished them like fine jewelry and setup up the instrument. Randy Allen - Custom slotted the fingerboard precisely to my exact specifications. It would be an understatement to say that these gentlemen worked on this project. I greatly appreciate their attention to detail and their dedication to their craft. Fret wire - Jescar FW57110 and FW55090, EVO Ni Free Gold ( http://www.jescar.com/fretwire.html )
