Thai classical instruments….

            From the left hand side to the back then front right, these are the Thai classical instruments these children use:

Saw Sam Sai (Three Stringed fiddle) ( ซอสามสาย )  – it is a traditional bowed string instrument made from a special type of coconut covered on one end with animal skin. Musician playing Saw Sam Sai’ mostly sits at the front row of the ensemble.

Thai Ramwong Drum ( รำวง )– It is super heavty solid carved shell with beautiful wood grain and nice lacquer finish.  It is easily tunable without tools by adjusting the ropes.

Ching ( ฉิ่ง ) and Chap ( ฉาบ ) – this is the tupe of metal percussion looks like mini cymbals made of an alloy.  Ching comes in pair of bowl shape cymbals.  Chap is more flat and thinner.

Ja Khe ( จะเข้ )  – is made of wood in a stylised alligator shape with three strings laying along the instruments.  Two strings are made of silk yarn or nylon and the other strings is made of brass,  It has raised frets made of bamboo, which are affixed to the fretboard.  The body is made of soft wood trees such as jackfruit.  

Traditional music can help people understand a country better.  It represents the history, traditions and thoughts of a community you are in.  

As for yourself, of course, either you are playing or learning to play any instruments can be seen as very therapeutic. It can raise your mood and make you calm or relaxed.  

Have a wonderful day ahead!
