[edit] Summary

Description

A krapeu (also called takhe), a crocodile-shaped fretted floor zither with three strings, used in the classical music of the Khmer people of Cambodia.

Photograph taken at the API (Asian Pacific Islander) Heritage Month Festival, part of Festál at Seattle Center, Seattle, Washington, United States.

The instrument is in bad shape--the frets should be all in a row, but they're all over the place, with some missing. Notice that the frets are kept from being lost by a string that passes through the middle of all of them. Traditionally the frets were affixed with hot wax but nowadays glue is often used.
