Making of Rudra Veena | Carsten Wicke | Indian Classical Music

Carsten Wicke narrates his journey as a student of Ustad Asad Ali Khan and the incidents that compelled him to take up Veena making. Around 2001, he started to learn Dhrupad vocal from Pandit Ashish Sankrityan who was a disciple of many masters of the Dagar tradition. Wicke’s Guruji Ustad Asad Ali Khan also had close connections with the Dagar family. Carsten Wicke describes how he tried to incorporate these two traditions in his Veena playing and while doing so, he realized the limitations of the available instruments. He met Murari Mohan Adhikari, the last of a family of Veena makers who owned the now closed Kanailal and Brothers at Chitpur Road.
Murari made a few instruments for Wicke incorporating both traditional and newer elements to acquire better sustain. After Murari Mohan’s death, he again faced the same problems of finding people who would know the intricacies of a fine instrument such as the Rudra Veena. Finally, after permanently settling down in India in 2009, he himself started working on improving the instrument with the help of a group of workers. In this video he gives a detailed description of each part of the Veena and how it differs from the traditional ones and how these changes positively affect the sound quality.

I hope that the Indian Government awards you a Padmabhushan for being both a Stradivari for the Rudra Veena and also for becoming a Paganini in its playing - to use well-known western names! A wonderful and inspiring story! Thank you for the telling of it! Wish you all success!

[@choudhurysanchita]

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant explanation on Music and Rudra Veena ...... God has showered upon you deluge of blessings to preserve this age old tradition of Rudra Veena vadan. So proud of you dear Carsten.

[@satyanarayanamendu6231]

Sir very much impressed by seeing your program. I believe that your soul is having some ageold relation with the Indian soil. You're a blessed one with the blessings of Saraswathi Deevi. Namasthe.

Really interesting to hear about! Also, good to know that the old "I bet you wish you'd learned the flute" joke is alive and well and has its ICM equivalent with the Rudra Vina and Bansuri.

Wunderbares Video, das ich gleich dreimal hintereinander gesehen habe. Das heißt wirklich leben für sein Instrument. Toll.

A rough surface reflects sound much better than smooth for the hollow dund, in Germany they built a auditorium next to a port, they had to build it inside another building to eliminate noise from the ships, they found having a rough surface on the walls was much better. Decisions Decisions
