The Mohan veena is a stringed musical instrument used in Indian classical music. It is actually a modified Archtop guitar with 20 strings: three melody strings, five drone strings strung to the peghead, and twelve sympathetic strings strung to the tuners mounted on the side of the neck.[1] A tumba or gourd is screwed into the back of the neck for improved sound quality and vibration. It is played by placing it in one's lap like a slide guitar.
This instrument was developed by Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt.
