SEUNG
The sueng (Thai: ซึง, Burmese: ၄ကြိုးထပ်ပို (ဆီုင်), pronounced [sɯ̄ŋ], also spelled seung or süng) Lanna(ᨪᩧ᩠ᨦ)is a plucked fretted lute from the northern (Lanna) region of Thailand. The instrument is made from hardwood and its strings (numbering either four or six and arranged in courses of two) are most often made of steel wire. It has nine bamboo frets.
The sueng is part of a northern Thai traditional ensemble called the salo-so (saw)-sueng ensemble, along with the salo (3-string spike fiddle) and pi so (free reed pipe).
The sueng is similar to the grajabpi (กระจับปี่), an ancient Thai instrument that is used in the classical music of central Thailand.
