    This sounds very much a Westernised rendition and not traditional Isaan

      I bought it more for something fun and some different sound on my own songs I didn’t buy it so I can go entertain at Isan parties 😂
      It adds a different colour to western type music. My first real attempt putting in a song

      It's a great pity that ethnic instruments get corrupted in this way, this instrument is imbedded in Thai Isaan culture and I'm sorry to have to say please respect this Sir.

      What a self entitled twat thing to say
      Countless examples of multiple bands, using different instruments to enhance their sounds respectfully GFY Chris
      Youd probably tell George Harrison to not use a sitar because he’s not from India
      Whatta stupid thing to comment

    This is amazing. I love it. I was gifted an electric Thai phin by my Thai wife. We live in UK though. I play guitar but this one is quite a bit different. I found zero materials/lessons about it online. Do you have any? How are you learning how to play?

      I’m in the same boat …completely winging it. Can’t find anything online
      I don’t even know what gauge strings are on this thing.Lol
      I got it to use on some of my original songs
      Heres a song I used it on
