Misr veena (Sanskrit: मिश्र वीणा, IPA: [mɪɕɽɐ ʋiːɳɐ]) is a plucked stringed musical instrument of Indian origin.
The instrument has 20 movable bell metal frets and these helps in playing sudha and komal notes.
The number of sympathetic strings (tarab) is eleven, and helps to keep the strummer in tune while playing gamak.
The misr veena has a medium bridge (jawari) to impart both a nasal and a deep resonance quality to the sound.
Suvir Misra has developed a unique fingering method which helps in playing fast tanas using gamakas and meends.
