His incredibly gifted workers also performed an impromptu Ottu Veenai demonstration for us.
As two musicians from the United Kingdom, we were eager to take some music lessons while in India. Thanjai veenai was the first place we found in India while searching for veenai shops.

I've been playing veenai instruments for a long time and was curious to learn more about it. When I entered the establishment, we were greeted by the shop employees, who showed us varieties of veenai, which astonished me and even surprised us with a veenai demonstration. It was definitely worth the effort and money spent on it. I have bought Chitra veenai from them. Thanks!
