Sralai

Sralai is a traditional Cambodian musical instrument, similar to a oboe, used in Khmer classical music. It consists of a double reed, which produces sound, and a wooden or bamboo tube with finger holes for playing different notes. The instrument is often played in orchestras or court music, providing a bright, penetrating sound that carries melodies and ornamentations. The sralai's design allows for expressive, agile performance, and it holds cultural significance as a symbol of Cambodian musical heritage. It is typically played solo or as part of an ensemble, contributing to the rich tapestry of Cambodian traditional music.
