WHAT IT DOES

A tuning checked by Tibetan musicians.

An instrument on the screen, voiced from real recordings.

Its history and the music it carries, offline.

The tuner listens as you play. The strings sound as you touch them.

MADE WITH THE MASTERS

Its voice given back.

In many Tibetan homes the dranyen hangs on the wall, beautiful and silent.

Made with Tenzin Norbu, with guidance from Techung, Phurbu T. Namgyal and Karma Drukya.

Lessons, with the tuner, are coming to Genla.

Its notations will be on the Tibetan Library's sound shelf.
