Talk:Tanjore veena

message: Shouldn't there be a more 'documentary' image of the Veena instead of the 'Ravi Varma' painting?

message: There is a fine difference between Gottuvadyam and ChitraVeena, in that the Chitraveena has 12 additional 'sympathetic' strings. HairyPotter 04:22, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Gottuvadyam vs ChitraVeena

message: The instrument is called "vina" or "veena" in English, not vīṇā. I'd prefer a move to vina, which is at the moment a rather useless disambiguation page, or possibly veena. Any views? -- Ranveig 10:22, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I, for one, agree with a page move. English keyboards don't have "ī", "ṇ" or "ā" so it doesn't seem likely that very many users will arrive directly at "Vīṇā". -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 04:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd oppose the move. Our readers are here to learn, and that includes learning the original name. ;) —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 08:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good point, but couldn't it be explained in the article? -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 22:52, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahem; in what way is "Vīṇā" the "original name"? It's a transliteration, remember? The change to this Roman rendition is recent; this reminds me of the annoying change from Peking to Beijing, for example, depending on the current political climate more than anything. I'd like to see this moved to "vina"; the current spelling is of interest to language snobs only. It could be explained in the article, but why go out of our way to give it such a tortured title? ==ILike2BeAnonymous 07:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Besides, I just noticed the article uses the name "veena" throughout, making the title annoyingly anomalous. ==ILike2BeAnonymous 07:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

text: It would appear that a move is the best idea.  Doing --NigelJ talk|WMNZ 00:45, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Title of the article

message: I feel the article could use a more thorough description of the instrument. To a reader such as myself who is unfamiliar with the subject, it is hard to distinguish this instrument from, for example, the sitar.  I thought this instrument was played using a glass sphere in a similar way that a guitarist uses a slide. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 04:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW: Is this the same instrument played by Gopal Krishan? -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 22:51, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Turns out I was thinking of the vichitra veena. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 04:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Description

message: I think that the intro is much too long, so I propose a History/Design Section. I am not sure how much information to keep in the intro, so I hope someone else can do it. FruitMart07 16:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
