The khene (Thai: แคน ) is a mouth organ of Lao origin whose pipes, which are usually
made of bamboo, are connected with a small, hollowed-out hardwood reservoir into which air is
blown, creating a sound similar to that of the violin. Today associated with the Lao people of Laos
and Isan, other similar instruments date back to the Bronze Age. The most interesting
characteristic of the khene is its free reed, which is made of brass or silver. It is related to
Western free-reed instruments such as the harmonium, concertina, accordion, harmonica, and
bandoneon, which were developed beginning in the 18th century from the Chinese sheng, a related
instrument, a specimen of which had been carried to St. Petersburg, Russia.
The khene uses a pentatonic scale in one of two modes (thang sun and thang yao), each mode
having three possible keys. The khaen has five different lai, or modes: Lai Yai (A C D E G), Lai Noi
(D F G A C), Lai Soutsanaen (G A C D E), Lai Po Sai (C D F G A), and Lai Soi (D E G A B). Lai Po Sai
isconsidered to be the oldest of the Lai Khaen and Lai Soutsanaen the "Father of the Lai Khaen.
Khaen can be played as a solo instrument (Dio Khaen), as part of an ensemble (Ponglang),
or as an accompaniment to a Lao or Isan Folk Opera Singer mor lam.
