The ranad ek is a kind of high-pitched xylophone from Thailand, often comprised of either 21 or 22 bars made of bamboo or other hard wood. The lower-pitched ranad thum is based on the ranad ek, but has longer, wider keys. In both, the bars hang together on strings, and the instruments are shaped like boats.

The Ranat Ek Lek is similar to the Ranat Ek, but is made with metal keys, instead of wooden ones. The Flat metal keys are placed over a wooden resonater. The Ranak Thum Lek was created to have a lower tone then the Ranat Ek Lek. The only major difference is that all of the keys are larger, giving it a lower tone.
