Ranat
Ranat (, , also spelled "ranad" or "ranaat") is the generic name for keyboard percussion instruments used in the music of Thailand. The bars of the various types of "ranat" may be made from hardwood or bamboo ("ranat ek" and "ranat thum" ), metal ("ranat ek lek" and "ranat thum lek" ), or, much more rarely, glass ("ranat kaeo" ). The earliest known description of "ranat" in Thailand was written in 19th century (1826 AD), an instrument probably of Burmese origin (pattala) focusing on the foot of the pattala Phanat (ဖိနပ်, lit. "shoes").
