Using an iPhone & iPad in Thailand Tips, App Reviews and News for the iPhone and iPad by Richard Barrow

A Thai Musical Instrument

Posted on August 21, 2010


Ránaát Lêk (ระนาดเล็ก) is a small, eight note version of a very famous Thai Ránaát that creates beautiful traditional music and can create a large variety of moods for TV and movie soundtracks.

This iPhone app, called Ránaát Lêk, is simple in concept but beautiful in design. It is a traditional Thai instrument that works a bit like a xylophone. You use your fingers to play the notes. You can pick out each note individually or run your fingers up and down the notes. As you hit each one it reacts. Nicely done and I guess would be popular with a musician. At the time of writing, the app costs 99 cents in the iTunes store. I have one copy to give away for free. I will give it away to the first person who asks for it in the comments!
