I have an immense amount of respect for master Sok Duch and am happy to see the kse diev tradition being kept alive. However it is innacurate to say the instrument belongs to Khmer only and others are copying them. The instrument obviously came from India originally as a form of ektari vina, which can be seen on the buddhist/hindu statues of Kinnari in southeast asia. Surely noone would claim that Khmer people invented hinduism or buddhism. Why are most people so unwilling to admit that their cultural items were imported from another place in ancient times? I see this all the time with traditional musical instruments.
us khmer must watch, listen and learn from the smartest people are Americans ,Japan ,china England, Germany, France people,they are very smart in entrepreneurs, inventor and businesses.khmer young people need to learn entrepreneurs from them to end jobless and poverties.
As entrepreneurs keep open mind u can turn into businesses,like toys,stuff toys,candy,fruit drink,plastic container,foods,desserts,sports,clothes n shoe designer,exports package foods overseas,new ideas,new products.
