However, defying six years of research by three perfectly competent writers, Dr. Khen announced that, after interviewing Ichilov's doctors, he is certain Rabin was shot twice and it was the first bullet which entered the back right shoulder blade that did all the damage.
Khen did present captivating evidence about the composition of the bullets supposedly pulled out of Rabin as compared to those in Amir's clip, but by then he had severely damaged his credibility with, not just his impossible bullet path, but with another impossible theory as well.
Khen has studied issue of bullet composition intensely, and considers it the key to the Rabin truth.

The ancient mouth organ of Laos is known as the khen (or khaen), a polyphonic, free reed instrument.
The khen is also found in Vietnam and Thailand, and has inspired the Japanese sh_ and the Chinese sheng.
While khen music is based on five modes called lai (each of which is an anhemitonic pentatonic scale), the frequent use of octaves, fourths, and fifths creates sonorities similar to music based on the diatonic scale.

 Brian's Ambient Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Things get really ambient on track three, "Accarezzando soma come si fa con una pituma," when the khen is processed down into a slow stillness as the different drones wax and wane--the khen is still recognizable here, but it is used in a soft, almost phased, manner, creating an ululating zone of tones.
Khen Introduce Silence, while maintaining a certain sameness between the seven tracks, integrates an unusual instrument into a shockingly beautiful ambient setting.
This is a half-hour of first rate ambient music; the type of stuff that ushers you into a dreamstate of bright sun and the odors of nature and forestland.

There is support for the distinction between the festal and annual Hitens on the HICS tapes themselves; notice that they chant Khen Oushot in the annual tune and continue the ending Hitens in the same tune.
As for Marenounh being the Festal tune I was initially taught that Khen Oshout is the festal tune evidence used is the 'Joyous exposition' uses this tune.
