Khlui

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The khlui ขลุ่ย is a vertical duct flute from Thailand. It is generally made of bamboo, though instruments are also made from hardwood or plastic. The khlui is very similar to the Cambodian khloy, though there are differences in tuning between the two instruments.

The khlui once had a buzzing membrane similar to the Chinese di mo, but this is not used today.
