This model is my personal project about The Crocodile Zither: Kyāṃ or Mi Gyaung The traditional Mon musical instrument from Myanmar (Burma) shaped like a crocodile is a fretted, plucked zither. The Mon name for the instrument is Kyāṃ (pronounced “chyam”), and the Burmese name is Mi Gyaung (or Mi-gyaung), both of which mean “crocodile.”
