Kong nyee

The kong nyee (គង​ញី literally feminine gong) is a bossed gong from Ratanakiri province in northeastern Cambodia.[1]. The instruments vary in size, for different pitches.[1]

Nipple gongs of the Kreung people of the Cambodian highlands. Possibly kong nyee, which are nipple gongs in varying sizes, played together.

The instrument is a round bronze-brass alloy plate with a round lump in the center, called a boss (like a shield boss) in English.[1] The Khmer word translates to "breast".[1] Musicians strike the boss with a mallet to get the best sound from the gong.[1] The "male gong", kong chmol, lacks the boss in the center.[2].
