khong wong yai (sets of gongs, <gongs and sets of gongs>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The khong wong yai is a Thai circular gong instrument with 16 tuned, bossed gongs arranged in a rattan frame, played by a seated musician using soft or hard beaters to provide the core melody in the piphat ensemble.Its gongs are individually tuned with beeswax, and playing techniques vary depending on performance setting, with harder beaters typically used outdoors.The analogous Cambodian kong von thom (kong thom) is a closely related instrument used in the pinpeat ensemble, performing a steady melodic line similar to the khong wong yai and analogous in both function and form.
