History (Wikipedia):

From where we get Khaen- Multiflutes- Small history below:

Our knowledge about the Khaen- Multiflutes is from Wikipedia. As per Wikipedia, we shared this small history to let our customers know about the Khaen- Multiflutes history. Lao musicians connect the pipes of the khaen, which are usually made of bamboo, with a small, hollowed-out hardwood reservoir into which they blow air. Moreover, the people of Laos consider the khaen the national instrument. In addition, Lao life integrates khene music. Which promotes family and social cohesion, and consequently, UNESCO inscribed it in 2017 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. For instance, ethnic Lao Isan and some Tai ethnic groups, such as Tai Dam in northern Vietnam and the Lao population of Stung Treng province, use the khaen in lakhon ken, a Cambodian dance drama genre that features the khaen as the main instrument.

Specifically, the khaen players use a free reed made of brass and/or silver. In fact, musicians relate it to Western free-reed instruments. Like the harmonium, concertina, accordion, harmonica, and bandoneon, which developers began creating in the 18th century from the Chinese sheng, a related instrument that someone carried to St. Petersburg, Russia.

The khene has seven tones per octave; moreover, it features intervals similar to that of the Western diatonic natural A-minor scale: specifically, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Furthermore, a khene can be made in a particular key; however, it cannot be tuned after the reed is set and the pipes are cut. This provides a basic history of the Khaen.
