The Ranat Ek is a Thai xylophone. It has 21 or 22 wooden bars suspended by cords over a boat-shaped trough resonator and is played with two mallets. It is used as a leading instrument in the piphat ensemble. The Ranat Ek is played by two types of mallets. The hard mallets create a sharp bright sound when the keys are hit. The hard mallets are used for faster playing. The soft mallets create a mellow and more softer tone which is used for slower songs. Ranat Ek bars are typically made from rosewood, although in rare instances instruments with bamboo bars can be found.
