i once arrived on a boat-access only island with no inhabitants (it was a park managed by the Snuneymuxw Nation) and was walking along the path next to the beach when I happened upon a 60-something year old man playing one of these. As I walked past him he turned to me and asked what colour my eyes were and if I ever saw faeries. We ended up wandering around the island together and missed the last boat back to the mainland as the sun was setting, in early winter! Luckily the boatman noted we hadn't gotten back on and returned for us. Point is, this instrument is magical and i hope i happen upon another one soon.
Khaen is a traditional musical instrument of Laos and the Northeast (Isan) region of Thailand and is considered a symbol of the Lao ethnic group as well. This type of musical instrument uses blowguns of various sizes together to form a cane. The can is a dryer with a metal tongue. The sound comes from the wind through the metal tongue along the cane tree trunk. Blowing the cane requires both inflating and sucking air. So it's hard to blow and the cans come in many sizes. It is a musical instrument that gives a beautiful sound. is unique Create your own harmonious sound Indicates the way of life of the indigenous people in the Mekong River Basin as well. Who invented the musical instrument called "Kaen" was the first and why it was called "Kaen", there is no definite evidence to confirm it.🙏🇹🇭👍
