The chiwang (Dzongkha: སྤྱི་དབང་; Wylie: spyi-dbang)[1] is a type of fiddle played in Bhutan.[2] The chiwang, the lingm (flute), and the dramyen (lute) comprise the basic instrumental inventory for traditional Bhutanese folk music.[1]
Although the chiwang is considered typically Bhutanese, it is a variety of the piwang, a Tibetan two-stringed fiddle. It is heavily associated with boedra, one of two dominant genres of Bhutanese folk music, in which it symbolizes a horse.[3]
