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 were staff members at Good Shepherd Mission when they married. 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.
