Mi gyaung
The mi gyaung (Burmese: မိကျောင်း [mḭ dʑáʊɴ]) is a crocodile-shaped fretted, plucked zither with three strings that is used as a traditional instrument in Burma. It is associated with the Mon people, who call it kyam.
It is similar to the Thai jakhe, the Cambodian krapeu (takhe), and the Mon kyam.
