The mahori (Thai: มโหรี), possibly from Sanskrit मनोहर (manohara, meaning "fascinating, attractive, charming, beautiful") + -ई (-ī, a feminine suffix), is a form of Thai classical ensemble traditionally played in the royal courts for the purpose of secular entertainment. It combines the xylophones and gong circles (but not the pi, or oboe) of the piphat with the strings of the khruang sai ensemble.
