Klong chatri[edit]

Jacqke, according to the Royal Institute Dictionary the klong chatri/klong tuk, while similar in appearance to klong that, is much smaller, and regarded as a different instrument. It is specifically used for lakhon chatri performances. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:49, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Paul_012 If you have access to a reliable source, please make the correction. I've been pursuing Cambodian instruments, trying to make sense of them; in many cases they overlap. The drums are problematic, and I tried to write the articles on Cambodian drums to allow for the fact that the short goblet drums might have specific purposes and be different instruments. It makes sense that Thailand also has similar differences in their drums. Can you tellme more of the source you mention? I really am in pursuit of reliable sources, for any of Southeast Asia.Jacqke (talk) 04:34, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the picture from the Kong that article. Thank you for catching that.Jacqke (talk) 04:56, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source I mentioned, the Royal Institute Dictionary, is the official standard Thai dictionary. It's available online,[1] but only in Thai. As for Cambodian/Thai instrument articles, there has previously been some debate over whether each of them are identical enough to be merged and covered in the same article. (See for example Talk:Chakhe#Same instrument?) I'm not really sure which is the better way to go. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:22, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Than you for the link to the dictionary. It might help me to avoid misakes like the last. I was thinking about making single articles for Thai and Cambodian instruments that appear the same. But I don't know if that would step on any cultural sensitivities, so I have treated Cambodian instruments as different, with links to Thai instruments and observations that the Thai equivalent has x features. One exception so far is the Kong ring in which there are enough variations throughout the region to make a more interesting article if they are compared.
