[DsuDorion]

Yes, i have the tune equipment and tunerdevice, so that's not a problem. I just need to know what notes the strings are.

i'll check out your video as soon you made it :)

thanks

[egyptiansushi]

@DsuDorion Did you ever figure out what notes the strings are? I can't find it either.

[DsuDorion]

@egyptiansushi I wish I knew.. still no luck on tuning..

[DsuDorion]

hi, can you tell me how to tune the Khim?

[manateera]

It's hard to explain by typing. First, you must have the Khim tune equipment to adjust strings.Then you should have the sound tuning equipment for comparing the right sound. Next, you have to use these equipment together for tuning the right sound. If I have a fine time, I will do the video for tuning Khim for everyone following the requests.

[wbgoaf]

@manateera

Did you end up making a video on how to tune the Khim?

I actually want to know what the note for each string is...

[oupekha]

show how to adjust the strings please

[aznmuzik]

[manateera]

Sorry, I 'm not sure what you mean, please explain more. Thanks.

You are so good man, I like it. I used to play Khim before in Thailand but I don't have my own Khim now. I wanna buy one some day. Keep it up.

[teepeetube]

i wish i could play it... been thinking about getting khim off of ebay but how can i learn to play on my own? is there a book out there to self teach?

[manateera]

Sure, you can do it likes I have been playing Koto. Let me tell you again when I can find something to help you for playing this instrument. Or.. I might create the Khim lesson video to help you when I have time.

[teepeetube]

oooh... that would be good! i'm thai raised in US but i like listening to old thai music and have always wanted to learn how to play khim. i live far from thai temple so i cant go there to learn.

so -- did you learn how to play khim on your own? how impressive!

[chef094]

[seanlerkvikarn]

This is Laos Duang Dern (Can't type thai), it's a very popular song.

[manateera]

[mimiquan]

this really put a smile on my face, takes me back to my childhood. Khop kun ka. Wai-ing is just cultural ideaology I agree, but if you should bow to anyone it should be to God, who gave you this gift of playing!!!

[manateera]

[manateera]

Your band is Cool!!

[metrospider]

music is music..wai-ing is only a cultural ideaology..music is universal...so leave the guy alone..grow up!!!

[Anakolov]

your Lao Duang Duen is a good version of it, but as mentioned below you really need to wai before playing.

[manateera]

Thanks for comment. I will wai next time cup.( Probably because of living in USA for a long time)

[csl212]

what does 'wai' mean? anyway, i'm really interested in the dulcimer.. how many octaves does this instrument play? and is it chromatic?

[manateera]

"Wai" is verb means greeting in Thai by putting hands together and bend hands and head down a little bit. Ummm. I m not sure about the quantity of octaves and chromatic because the Thai notes are different from the standard notes. God bless you.

[justlikeacat]

no wai! you are lucky your teacher spirit did not attack you.

[manateera]

Yes, but it's a short one. If you want, please send your email to chizuyouko a hotmail com (msn)

[manateera]

[AzNx111]

[manateera]
