The kongthom plays a melodic line in the Cambodian pinpeat group almost similar to that of the large xylophone.  The kongthom stays more stably on the pulse without pulling or delaying the melody of the group. The player of this instrument uses softer mallet for indoor show while he uses hard ones for outdoor performance. The kongthom is similar to the ‘khongwongyai’ that is found in Thailand.

The gong circle-maker makes sixteen bossed gongs produced of copper that is mixed with bronze. He hangs them on rattan frames in a circle around the player of the instrument and he tunes the individual gongs by completely soaking into the upturned boss a mixture of mud-lead, rice husks and bee wax. The kongthom has a cousin whose name is kongtoch.
