Abstract
The Khong Wong Yai is called Gong in English but different in number to tune the sounds, beeswax with not exactly amount is pasted under the bossed. It is a Thai’s percussion instrument usually involves some kind of striking on nipple gong. It is composed of 16 units of Gong as a circle of a rattan frame. The bossed or nipple gong embossed in center of a gong generates one key sound. Player has to percuss the gongs to create the rhythm with two hard rubber mallets or soft padded mallets as beaters and sits in the middle of the circle. The sound of the gong usually involves vibration of its own structure. The aim of this analysis is to study the eigen modes and find out the important parameters to generate sound frequency which are excited on the bossed or nipple gong by finite element analysis. In this paper the inertia relief method is to study the sound frequency of the Gong. The results show that the diameter of the Gong, the thickness of flange and the thickness of cylinder formed the Gong are important parameters which can be optimized to obtain the correct sound key.
