This photograph shows Master Chum Ngek teaching a TU student how to play the kong thom, a semi-circle of sixteen low-pitched gongs. Kong thom is an important instrument in the Cambodian classical music ensemble known as pin peat. It works in tandem with the roneat aik, a high-pitched, wooden xylophone with twenty-one bars, as an ensemble leader.
