The roneat ek is a percussion instrument that is tuned to pitch and is quite similar to a xylophone. It is built in the shape of a carved, rectangular boat. The sound bars are made of bamboo or wood and are suspended from strings attached to the two walls and this helps the resonance of the bars.
While The Roneat Dek is a Cambodian metallophone, comparable to the Roneat ek. It is an ancient instrument made of 21 blackened-iron bars. It may be used in the Pinpeat ensemble and Mahaori orchestra. It is believed to have originated from the Royal Courts before the Angkor period.
