Lingm

Monks playing lingm at Lhuentse Dzong

The lingm (Dzongkha: གླིངམ་, Wylie: glingm)^[1] is a bamboo flute indigenous to Bhutan.^[2] The lingm, the dramyin (lute) and the chiwang (fiddle) comprise the basic instrumental inventory for traditional Bhutanese folk music.^[1]

There are two varieties of lingm: the dong lingm (གདོང་གླིངམ་ Wylie: gdong-glingm), which is front-blown; and the zur lingm (ཟུར་གླིངམ་, Wylie: zur-glingm), which is side-blown.^[1]
