This is a set of 3 "fiddles" from Cambodia, which I collected on 2 different trips there around 10 years ago. Being a cellist and sound recordist I looked for the highest quality instruments I could find rather than the cheap trinkets from the market, so these are very nice examples. The "Tror-Ou" (which I think translates roughly as "large fiddle") is traditionally carved from a coconut shell. There exists another much more common instrument which is smaller called "Tror-Sau" but I never collected one of these, in my opinion the Tror-Ou sounds better (also it is more typically Cambodian as the Tror Sau is very similar to the Chinese Erhu)

There are 2 example of Tror-Ou here, one is slightly larger than the other. Both are "ready to play" although I have to say the technique takes quite a bit of practice! ;) The sound is very scratchy unless you're really an expert player. The other fiddle is a "Tror-Khmer" which is much less common and very difficult to find, technically it is a "spike fiddle" and it's very similar to the Thai instrument "Saw Sam Sai". This one was bought from Hanuman traditional arts in Phnom Penh. I tried to get a decent sound out of it and replaced pegs/strings in this effort however I think it's more intended as a decorative item as it only produces a very quiet, thin sound (I have the original pegs to revert the look back to traditional, I will provide these as well)

Would prefer to sell as a set as it makes sense to keep them together, would probably suit a collector interested in Cambodian culture or perhaps another experimental musician. Would be very nice as a set of interesting decorative items if you're not intending to play them. Any questions feel free to ask
