  klong thohn

 

Thailand

A klong thohn is a kind of small, low-pitched, goblet-shaped hand drum, with a wooden or ceramic body. In Central Thai traditional music, such as that of string ensembles, it is usually played in pair with the klong ram manah (fig.), and is hence referred to as thohn ram manah (fig.).
