From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The saw sam sai (Thai: ซอสามสาย; also spelled saw samsai, and occasionally called simply sam sai; literally "three stringed fiddle") is a traditional bowed string instrument of Thailand. Its body is made from a special type of coconut covered on one end with animal skin, and it has three silk strings. Typically, the player glues a jewel onto the skin before playing, to reduce the skin's resonance.photo
The saw sam sai is in the saw family of Thai fiddles, which also includes the saw u and saw duang.
It is related to a very similar Cambodian instrument called tro Khmer.
