Tro Sau Thom
The ''tro'' ( km, ទ្រ) is Cambodia's traditional spike fiddles, bowed string instruments that are held and played vertically. Spike fiddles have a handle that passes through the resonator, often forming a spike, on the bottom side where it emerges. The family is similar or distantly related to the Chinese erhu or huqin. The instruments have a soundbox at the bottom of the stick, covered with leather or snake skin. Strings run from pegs at the top of the stick and secured at the bottom, running across the soundbox. The larger the soundbox, the lower the pitch range. Instruments in this family include the two-stringed ''tro ou'', ''tro sau thom'', ''tro sau toch'' and ''tro che'', as well as the three-stringed '' tro Khmer'' spike fiddle. The two-stringed tros are tuned in a fifth, while the three-stringed tro Khmer is tuned in fourths.

Music Of Cambodia
The music of Cambodia is derived from a mesh of cultural traditions dating back to the ancient Khmer Empire, India, China and the original indigenous tribes living in the area before the arrival of Indian and Chinese travelers. With the rapid Westernization of popular music, Cambodian music has incorporated elements from music around the world through globalization. Folk and classical music Cambodian Art music is highly influenced by ancient forms as well as Hindu forms. Religious dancing, many of which depict stories and ancient myths, are common in Cambodian culture. Classical Khmer music usually is divided into three parts: ''pin peat, phleng kar,'' and ''mahori,'' all of which are associated with their religious dances. Some dances are accompanied by a pinpeat orchestra, which includes a ching ( cymbal), roneat (bamboo xylophone), pai au ( flute), sralai (oboe), chapey (bass moon lute or banjo), gong ( bronze gong), tro ( fiddle), and various kinds of drums.

Along with '' smot'', while in a very different style, ''ayai'' singing has been described as "one of the most fascinating folk music traditions in Cambodia."

In the past, Cambodian people would perform traditional games - which often included singing and dancing - in their villages, most often during the Khmer New Year festival and other celebrations. Because of the ribaldry of the language used, ''ayai'' singing was considered lewd and this type popular leisure was not recommended for well-bred women in the traditional code of the ''Chbab Srey.''
