Wood sueng yai, 'One Heart' Musical Instruments View by Region Thailand 
This beautiful four-stringed strumming instrument from northern
Thailand is a sueng, while yai describes it as large.
Somboon Gavichai shapes the body from jackfruit wood and adds
steel strings; the knobs are crafted of Burmese rosewood. In
the past, men would play the sueng to flirt with
women. At present, the instrument is used in festivals and
ceremonies. A typical band may be made up of the
sueng, a sa-lor, drums, a flute and cymbals.
