The Kong Mong or Kong Ming (Khmer: គងម៉ង់) is a Cambodian circular musical instrument. It is a single suspended and handheld gong-chime made of bronze or brass, held aloft with one hand, while the other beats it with the wooden mallet, "Onlung Kbal Sva". [1] The gong has two holes drilled in it, with string passing through the holes to suspend it. [1] It has a "boss", a raised and rounded section in the center, called the "Doh". [1] The name comes from the sound that gong-chime produces when beaten: "Mong Mong". [1] It is also described as a "bossed gong."
