The Khim (Thai: ขิม, pronounced [kʰǐm]; Khmer: ឃឹម Khum) is a stringed musical instrumentderived from the Mesopotamian or Persian Santur. It is similar to the HammeredDulcimer or Cimbalom. This Khim was introduced to Cambodia, Laos andThailand from China, where a similar (though, since the late 20th century,usually larger) instrument is called Yangqin. It is played with twoflexible bamboo sticks with soft leather at the tips to produce a soft tone. 

It is played with two flexible bamboo sticks with soft leather at the tips (included with purchase) to produce a soft tone.  You can  play by either sitting down on the floor with the Khimon the floor, or by sitting on a chair or standing while the Khim is on astand (can be available for purchase in attractive design and teak wood). Thai Khim is an exceptionally sturdy, stable instrument that produces a bright, sweet, balanced and expressive sound when played. It is madeof wood, with brass strings that are laid across the instrument.
