MUAY THAI MUSIC INSTRUMENT
Written by freedomfighter   

The Pi

The Pi Chawa or Java Pipe, it is believed, owes its origin to India where th Javanese secured their model. It appears that the instrument was used in both Royal and Army processions and in accompanying the traditional Thai fencing bouts. The stirring sound which it makes is somewhat like the Chanta on Scotch Bag  Pipes.

The Pi Chawa is made in two sections; a cylindrical body 10 3/4 " in length and a bell or horn in 5 1/2 "long.It is made of hardwood or ivory or both. Along the body are seven finger holes. Four pieces of reed in double pairs are tied to a small metal tube. The end of the tube is inserted into the body of the instrument and wrapped
with thread to make the connection sung. At rhis end of the tube there is also a small round convex piece of metal or coconut shell to support the performer’s lips. 

The Ching 

The Ching which is a percussion instrument of the cymbal type comes in pairs an is made of a thick metal shaped like a tea-cup or hollow cone. The Ching is played by hitting the two pieces together. Each one measures about 6-7 cm, 2 1/2"-2 3/4 : in diameter. 

At the apex of each there is a small hole through which a cord is passed. A knot a each end of the cord fits inside the apex of the cymbal and prevents the cord  from slipping through. The cord fastens the two cymbals together and holds them in playing positions. The function of the Ching is to keep time and to beat out the rhythm.Image
The name Ching is onomatopoetic, coming from the sound made when the two edges of the cymbal are struck together and the sound is allowed to persist. It is a melodious and chiming sound. When the two cymbals are struck together and then  held together, it is produces a dull clapping sound.

The Glawng Khaek

 The Glawng Khaek has a long cylindrical body which is made of hardwood and is 58 cm. (23") in length. The heads are of unequal size, the larger being 20 cm. (8") in diameter called Na rui (literally "loose") and the smaller 18 cm. (7") in diameter called Na tan ("outer head"). The two heads are made of calfskin or goatskin. Originally the two heads were tied down with cane or rattan which was split in half and tied apart, but now owing to the difficulty obtaining good rattan and cane,  leather tongs are usually used. The drums are used in pairs and are of different
pitches. The higher toned drum is referred to as tua pu (male) and the lower toned
drum as tua mia (female). They are played with the palms and the fingers of the hands and both drumheads
are used. There is one player for each drum. A complex rhythmic line is created by the inter-mingling and alternating of the sounds of the two drums.

Now we know that music also part  of martial art J there are a lot martial art using a instrumental music ,like Capoera ,silat,and many out there. Muaythai  Traning camp
