T'rưng
The t'rung (đàn T'rưng) is a traditional bamboo xylophone used by the Jarai people and Bahnar people in Vietnam's Central Highlands.[1] More complicated developments of the Jarai and Bahnar's xylophone have become used in Vietnamese traditional music ensembles (known as the đàn T'rưng) representing the music of the highland minorities.[2]
