Thai traditional Xylophone and Drum
Thai classical music has been with the Thais for generations,
in fact for hundred of years. It is played at celebrations,with joy
and exuberance, with sadness when there is sorrow. The Thai
musical instruments have always been intricately made and
decorated with rare wood and precious materials.
It is rather sad that the modern Thai people have less time
or the lack of chance to pay interest to Thai classical music,
even though one may have heard it, appreciated it in one's walk of life.
"I was born in Bangkok since 1965. I am a Thai man who have appliciated
in Thai Traditional Music. I graduated in the field of Thai Music major Thai Oboe
which we call "Pee Nai" in Thai language at Kasetsat University. And now I become
a creator the Thai Tradition Xylophone & Drum that we call "Ranad-Ek,Ranad-Tum,
Klong Kaek & Tapon" in my house since 1996. At the beginning I started to do
the xylophone by myself for 2-3 years and after that I have been studied with a teacher
who was an expert in this field.His name is Mr.Sanae Pakpong. He has been a man
who kindliness and sincererity which he have taught too manythings to me. His teaching
had not only the producing process but also the Ideal of life and the way of human been too.
My products are not only the Music instruments but they are a kind of Fine Art and full of spirits."
