The main part of Veena is the bridge. Wood is carved in the shape of the bridge. Aarak (lacquer) is melted and applied on the wooden bridge on which a flat bar of brass is fixed. Holes are drilled on either of the bridge's legs. Saw powder and adhesive are put in the holes and a small piece of wood is fixed in the whole. The wooden bridge is fixed in the middle of the resonator. A slightly curved brass bar is fixed adjacent to the bridge, which gives the Veena its characteristic sound. The strings are fixed to the Veena, passing over these brass bars.
