Ranat thum

Ranat thum

The "ranad thum" (Thai: ระนาดทุ้ม) is a low pitched xylophone used in the music of Thailand. It has 18 wooden keys, which are stretched over a boat-shaped trough resonator. Its shape looks like a "ranad ek", but it is lower and wider. It is usually played in accompaniment of a "ranad ek".

"Ranat thum" bars are typically made from bamboo, although instruments with rosewood ("Dalbergia oliveri"; _th. ไม้ชิงชัน; "mai ching chan") bars can also be found.

It is similar to a Cambodian xylophone called "roneat thung".
