Mr. Tinh plays the Khen. Traditionally, Thai ethnic people would gather to play their Khens and Flutes on only the most joyous of occasions such as the start of a new year or a friend or relative's wedding. Unfortunately, Mr. Tinh is the only one in his community who can play the Khen as he wasn’t able to pass down the art to his sons.
