Cambodian musical instrument From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sralai (Khmer: ស្រឡៃ) is a Cambodian wind instrument that uses a quadruple reed to produce sound.[1] The instrument is used in the pinpeat orchestra, where it is the only wind instrument.[1] The set of quadruple reeds are made of palm leaf.[1] The bore of the instrument is not evenly bored, but "slightly conical."[1][2][3] Its cousin, the Western oboe, has a double reed and a conical bore. The pinpeat instruments tune to the sralai's pitch, and the player must learn circular breathing to play continuously without stopping for breath.[1] The sralai is very similar in construction and playing technique to the Thai pi.
