Chankalun

Chankalun is a traditional form of xylophone originating from Cambodia. It is a percussion instrument consisting of a series of wooden bars of different lengths, which are struck with two padded mallets to produce musical notes. The bars are typically arranged in a curved or arc-shaped frame.

The chankalun is an important part of Cambodian traditional music and is often featured in ensembles accompanying classical dance and religious ceremonies. The instrument's specific tuning and construction can vary depending on the region and the specific musical tradition it is used in. It is considered a significant cultural artifact and its preservation is important to Cambodian heritage.
