{"product_id":"decorative-ranat-ek","title":"Decorative Ranat Ek","description":"\u003cp\u003eA decorative ranat ek (ระนาดเอก), the Thai xylophone. The body is boat-shaped, painted red, with a gold floral pattern and gold Thai letters along the side. The ends turn up and carry a gold edge. Dark wood bars hang over the trough on a white cord; the long way a ranat is strung. The whole piece rests on a small red foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a Thai piphat ensemble, the ranat ek leads, and the player uses two beaters. The bars on a full instrument run from long and low to short and high, 21 of them. This listing says decorative. The photograph doesn't show 21 bars, doesn't show beaters, and doesn't give a length or a tuning. The bars are hung so they can be tapped. That is not a promise they are in tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne instrument. Dust it. Keep water off the paint and off the cord.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ME Thanakrit Kanyaprasit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45263714484528,"sku":"M-177-D","price":96.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/2863\/3648\/products\/THAI-XYLOPHONE-RANAT-EK-D-Decorative-3.jpg?v=1696189267","url":"https:\/\/uniquely-thai.com\/products\/decorative-ranat-ek","provider":"Uniquely Thai Lao TV","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
