Veena, Why Not?

Bantureethi Koluvu on Veena by Rajesh Vaidya

Veena is such a melodious string instrument but is it not part of the common accompaniment in a Carnatic concert?

Listen to the Veena rendition of Sai Bhajans by Dhurjati, you will have to agree that this instrument can be and should be used more often in concerts. Has anyone tried using it in some kind of Fusion?

Is there a smaller “guitar like” version of Veena that is portable?
