A poem about the Pinn Peat ensemble & a chariot
Beat two oxen |
Beat the two heads of skor thomm drum, whose heads are made of cowhide |
Eat the axel |
Play the sralai oboe, whose player takes the reed into his mouth |
One ox with ashes |
Play the sampho drum, which is tuned using a paste of cooked rice and ashes |
Scratch a breast |
Play the korng gong circle, a set of bossed gongs which resemble the breast |
Look at bamboo |
Play the roneat xylophone, whose keys are made of bamboo |
Sounds like a cicada |
The sound of the roneat dek metallophone is penetrating |
Speak one by one |
The roneat thung low-pitched xylophone plays a disjunct melody |
