![]() This is a folder of Northeastern/Laotian musical instruments. Not a large pitch range but somehow there's quite a lot of solo music for this instrument: including Lao Pan, of course. Much mellower and easier on the ear (in my opinion). You can judge for yourself here: not Lao Pan though. Similar to Erhu but in my opinion the Sor Duang is higher-pitched and more biting (perhaps there's a version of huqin which is more similar to the Sor Duang than Erhu). Sor Dwong (usually spelled Sor Duang or Saw Duang) Klui pieng-or (name indicating pitch range) is the most popular type. Wood is obvious, although I am unsure of their types/pitch range names for both. Klui Plastic is made from plastic (the Thai language orders adjectives the other way around compared to English). It has many variations depending on pitch range and materials. The Khlui is the name of this flute instrument. Klui (usually this is romanized as Khlui) As usual, I will try to insert Lao Pan solo of the instrument for consistency.Ĩ. There seems to be two versions for some reasons. It has only been recently added and hasn't had the chance to change to be closer to other instruments in the tradition. Khim (or sometimes spelled Kim, as in the case of the soniccouture VI) I might do another set of English descriptions for the newly added ones when I have the time.Įdit: Time to start describing some of the new instruments.ħ. The collection is certainly more complete with pretty much all important instruments in there (my favorite instruments aren't there yet though ). I see strings, flutes, and Northeastern music instruments in the drive now, along with new percussions etc. Lower-pitched and with less range than the Ranad Eak, the Ranad Thum plays and sounds more similar to a typical xylophone on lower pitches (more counterpoint, etc.) (Click here for Lao Pan on the Ranad Thum).Įverything else is in the percussion group that I have very little experience with (TBH, the instruments as well, but at least I've briefly played with the Ranad Eak and Ranad Thum in high school).Īh, the content in the first post seems to be outdated now that the developer has put in newer instruments and updated old ones. The VIs have 6 velocity layers each (x, pp, p, mf, f, ff) (Again, here is Lao Pan but on the Ranad Eak this time). The Hard/Soft versions differ by the hardness of the mallet (soft one has clothing on the mallet). There is a misspelling for the VI with solf instead of soft. Very flashy and attention-catching, as well as hard to play (octaves and tremolos abound). Thai Xylophone, the main instrument of an ensemble, equivalent to the soloist in a concerto. Ranad Eak Hard/Soft (Ranad = Xylophone, Eak = One, First) On the other hand, the usual playing of a basic melody that can be modified for other instruments is (more like this video) (the weird tuning is very clear here, with the highest pitch of the instrument at scale degree 3 and each octave composed of 7 scale degrees).Ĥ. (Click here for Lao Pan on the Kong Wong Yai). All other instruments' melodies are often derivatives of the Khong Wong Yai's basic melody. The instrument composers use for creating new melodies. The carrier of the main melody in an ensemble. Khong Wong Yai (Literal translation: Gong, circular, large) (Bonus version with vocal part followed by an 'angrier/sharper/fiercer') Jakhe playing of the same song at 3:27.ģ. (Click here for a performance of Lao Pan) by a Jakhe master renowned for clear playing. (Click here for an Angkalung ensemble in action).Ī fretted floor zither played with a plectrum bound to the right index finger in order to enable dense tremolos. Not used often in Thai music except to emulate Javanese music. There are velocity layers but some instruments have weird keyboard layout.īasically the same as the Angklung, just pronounced differently. I will try my best with my limited knowledge to introduce the included VIs (all are fixed pitched instruments) with examples of how they are played idiomatically (and in traditional tuning except for maybe the Angkalung). The instruments, to my ears, seem to be tuned to the standard international (i.e. ![]() Looks like someone finally got up and sampled some ethnic Thai instruments and percussions. Kritidech.aromoon/posts/4321236161229751 link is to the original Facebook post with a google drive link (also (here)) Seems like the creator wants to create an actual bundle for sale now.
