The skor sang na or sko chhneah is a Cambodian barrel drum, similar in shape to the samphor but smaller, measuring 60 centimeters by 20 centimeters. [1] The instrument is small enough to carry. [1] Like the skor chaiyam which has a strap to allow the instrument to be carried in parades, the skor sang also has a strap. [1] However, rather than cheerful parades, it had a more solemn purpose, playing in funeral processions and ceremonies. Used to play "Khlang Chanack" funeral music. [1]
Equivalent to the Thailand Klong song na drum.
