Why does this article say (in different paragraphs) that the instrument has six strings and seven strings? 76.189.141.37 ( talk) 01:11, 12 August 2018 (UTC) reply

I'll try answer, but that is something that needs a proper source to address. I haven't looked at this particular instrument in any papers. It is a traditional instrument, and these can have more than one configuration. Similarly the oud can have different numbers of strings and different tunings. Another is the American banjo, with 4 or five strings. Jacqke ( talk) 01:43, 12 August 2018 (UTC) reply

In Tibetan, the instrument's name is pronounced dra-nyen/drab-nyen/dram-nyen , but not dram-yin! Yak-indolog ( talk) 22:25, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply
