What is "dramyin"

The dramyin or dranyen (; ; Chinese: ) is a traditional Himalayan folk music lute with seven strings, used primarily as an accompaniment to singing in the Drukpa Buddhist culture and society in Bhutan, as well as in Tibet, Sikkim and Himalayan West Bengal. It is often used in religious festivals of Tibetan Buddhism (cf. tshechu). The instrument is played by strumming, fingerpicking or (most commonly) plucking. The dramyen, chiwang ( fiddle), and lingm ( flute) comprise the basic instrumental inventory for traditional Bhutanese folk music.
