Ranat ek lek

Ranat ek lek

The "ranat ek lek" ( _th. ระนาดเอกเหล็ก) is a metallophone used in the classical music of Thailand. It is the smaller of the two sizes of Thai metallophone; the larger one is called "ranat thum lek".

The "ranat ek lek" consists of flat metal slabs placed over a rectangular wooden resonator. It is played with two bamboo sticks with padded ends.

The "ranat ek lek" is very similar to the Khmer "roneat dek".
