தமிழ்: தமிழ்: கின்னரி, நரம்பு இசைக்கருவி, கர்நாடக இசை, தோன்றிய காலம்: சுமார் 1000 ஆண்டுகள், மூலப்பொருள்: மரம், சுரைக்காய். 13ஆம் நூற்றாண்டில் சங்கீத ரத்னாகரா என்ற காவியத்தில் சரங்கதேவர் இந்த கின்னரி வீணை குறித்து எழுதியுள்ளார். கின்னரம் என்ற பாதி மனிதன் பாதி பறவை உருவம் கொண்ட காதல் இசைக் கடவுளால் உருவாக்கப்பட்டது என்று நம்பப்படுகிறது. சமஸ்கிருத இலக்கியத்தில் அதிகம் பேசப்படுகிறது. இன்றைய கர்நாடக மாநிலத்தில் அதிகம் உபயோகிக்கப்படுகிறது. வீணையின் முன்னோடி கின்னரி தான். பெங்களுரு பசவனகுடி கோயிலின் முன் உள்ள உயர்ந்த தூணில் இதை ஒரு இசைக்கலைஞன் வாசிக்கும் சிற்பம் உள்ளது.
