ranat
Ranat (pron, also spelled ranad or ranaat) is the generic name for keyboard percussion instruments used in the music of Thailand. The bars of the various types of ranat may be made from hardwood or bamboo (ranat ek ระนาดเอก and ranat thum ระนาดทุ้ม), metal (ranat ek lek ระนาดเอกเหล็ก and ranat thum lek ระนาดทุ้มเหล็ก), or, much more rarely, glass (ranat kaeo ระนาดแก้ว). • Illustration — A Ranat ek
