Many other sites, in French or in English, contain informations, pictures, music, data of any kind about the South Indian Veena. I give here a few links toward some sites which seem the most interesting to me. More of them will be added later on :
Sites in French :
- Wikipedia (a page in French on the Rudra Veena as well as the South Indian one)
- Site of Jean-Jacques Reymond
- A video description of a veena kept in the ethnographic museum of Genève
- Site dedicated to the Rudra-Vina of Nothern India, which as many similarities with the South Indian Veena.
- File dédicated to the Vina on IndeRéunion.net site, which presents a lot of other documents as well on South Indian culture.
Sites in English:
- Vainika-wikispace : A site only devoted to the South Indian Veena. A must.
- Wikipedia (Wikipedia's page about the South Indian Veena)
- Uttara & Lorraine Craig Blog Site (site dedicated to all the veenas, still starting but with a lot of potential.)
- Site of Prashanth Iyengar ( Made by a disciple of R.K. Suryanarayan.)
- Art India : Gives the addresses of many Vainikas, in India as well as in the West.
Musicians' Videos:
Those videos often have a poor sound, and lack of synchronization appears when the data transmission isn't fast enough. Still they are priceless documents about the music and the playing techniques of musicians, from today and yesterday. I give here a few links toward some of them. I shall add some more later, and others are given too in the pages dedicated to the different styles of playing
