Bruk
During the 19th century many princes have their own Thai orchestras, which would include drum(s), or Tone. According to Prince Damrong Rajanubhab's account the drums were ordered during the 2nd half of the 19th century. Prince Damrong, son of King Mongkut (Rama V), recounted the story about the fiasco of ordering Tone: At first the Chinese thought that the object was a stand, so they made the pieces solid. Upon arrival in Bangkok, complaints were launched, a solid drum could not be used, so the the order sent again, this time for hollow pieces. As time passed and the extended royal families no longer kept private orchestras, the instruments were sold off to antique dealer who did not keep the instruments in a playable condition. Tone has had a secondary use as a lamp stand, as seen in Jim Thompson museum in Bangkok.- Asia Sør-Asia Burma/Myanmar Burma
