The ranat thum lek consists of flat metal slabs placed over a rectangular wooden resonator. It is played with two bamboo sticks with padded ends.
The origin of this instrument is attributed to the brother of King Rama IV(1854-1868) the same time as the creation of roneat ek lek.[1]
The ranat thum lek is very similar to the Khmer roneat thong.
