Exploring the Enigmatic Chakhe Will the Alluring Melody of the Crocodile Instrument Captivate You 🐊🎹🎶泰國鱷魚琴初體驗

泰國鱷魚琴初體驗

喺音樂分享同體驗班裏面最難嘅一種樂器就係鱷魚琴。真係感謝呢幾位同學，對鱷魚琴非常有興趣同熱心！

泰國鱷魚琴又稱泰式三弦齊特琴，其形狀像魯特琴，因早期樂器的一端雕刻成鱷魚頭的形狀，所以又稱「鱷魚琴」。琴身如湯匙狀，其底部有五個活動腳架，琴弦材質為兩條絲弦與一條金屬弦，共鳴箱以柚木製成，上有竹製或木製的琴橋，琴板上有等比例間隔的11個琴柱。

此樂器起源於印度，經緬甸、高棉傳入泰國，在泰國傳統的 Mahori 和 Khruang-sai 樂隊中經常使用。

🐊🎹🎶 First Experience with the Chakhe (จะเข้)

Chakhe (จะเข้) – Traditional Thai Lute

In the music sharing and experience class, the most challenging instrument is the Chakhe (จะเข้) .

We truly appreciate these students for their great interest and enthusiasm for the instrument! 🥰👍The Chakhe (จะเข้) , also known as the Thai-style three-stringed Khett piano, is shaped like a lute. Its name comes from the fact that one end of the early instruments was carved to resemble a crocodile's head. The body of the piano is spoon-shaped, and it has five movable legs at the bottom. The strings consist of two silk strings and one metal string. The resonator box is made of teak wood, with a bamboo or wooden bridge. The soundboard has 11 equally spaced bridges. This instrument originated in India and was introduced to Thailand through Myanmar and Cambodia. It is often used in traditional Thai Mahori and Khruang-sai orchestras. 🇹🇭🇹🇭
