How to use it
เครื่องดนตรีkrûeang-don-dtrii is a "music device". Thai classical music has its own: the ระนาดrá-nâat, a wooden xylophone, the ขิมkǐm, a hammered dulcimer, and the small ฉิ่งchìng cymbals that keep time. Isan music is built on the แคนkaen, a bamboo mouth organ, and the พิณpin, a lute. In everyday talk, "can you play anything?" is just เล่นดนตรีเป็นไหมlên don-dtrii bpen mǎi.
