PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - Sophal's and Narun's wedding ceremony took place at Good Shepherd Mission on February 3, 1996. Narun is second-from-right in this picture. Sophal and Narun are staff members at Good Shepherd Mission. The smiling man in the yellow shirt is playing music on an interesting Cambodian fiddle called a tror, similar to the erh hum, a popular spike fiddle of China. The bow rides between two strings and can cause them to sound simultaneously; the resonator, located behind the bow, is covered with snakeskin.

See and hear another tror musician.
