Roneat thung

Roneat thung

The "roneat thung" is a low-pitched xylophone used in the Khmer classical music of Cambodia. It is built in the shape of a curved, rectangular shaped boat. This instrument plays an important part in the "pinpeat" ensemble. The "roneat thung" is placed on the left of the "roneat ek", a higher-pitched xylophone.

It is very similar to a Thai xylophone called "ranat thum".
