How to Play the Dhad

Hey guys,


I just got a dhad, (which I think is the coolest percussion instrument btw), but I'm not too sure exactly how to play it. I get that the strings need to be tightened while playing with the other hand..

The dhad came with a black band, I seen some people have it wrapped around their thumbs, but I don't know how to tie it like that.


I guess what I am asking is how exactly do you tighten the strings while playing..


TIA, Mohan
