How to make a dranyen (Tibetan lute) by Pema Samdup

The dramyin or dranyen (Tibetan: སྒྲ་སྙན་, Wylie: sgra-snyan; Dzongkha: dramnyen) is a traditional Himalayan folk music lute with six 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.

Origion of damyen is from ladakh? 6th his holiness bought it in tibet ?

[@teentheblue3644]

Why would he add them six traditional pegs when he actually has the mechanical pegs to cover the tuning?
