Khong wong lek

Khong wong lek

The "khong wong lek" ( _th. ฆ้องวงเล็ก) is a gong circle used in Thai classical music. It has 18 tuned bossed gongs, and is smaller and higher in pitch than the "khong wong yai". Both instruments are played in the same manner, the "khong wong lek" plays a faster and more ornate variation on the principal melody, with less use of two-note chords.
