The ''saw sam sai'' ((タイ語: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 the hardest to play among the 4 types of Thai Saw: ''saw u'', ''saw duang'', and ''salo''. This is because the bow is not attached, and one must "break" their wrist back and forth to change strings- not tilting the bow. Because of this, it is frequently used as a prop in pictures to show knowledge or a high social status. It is related to a very similar Cambodian instrument called ''tro Khmer''. ==External links== *(''Saw sam sai'' page ) *(''Saw sam sai'' photos ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saw sam sai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
