The tro che or tro chhe (ទ្រឆេ) is a member of the tro family of 2-stringed Cambodian fiddles, the smallest member of the Tro family.[1] It is tuned the same as the Tro u, one octave higher.[1]
Like most of the other members of the family, it is a two stringed instrument. Formerly, silk strings were standard, but now wire is used, "such as motorcycle brake cable".[1] The resonating chamber, a cylinder, his made of hardwood or ivory. There are no standard sizes; however the resonating chamber can be 65–70 mm across and 105 mm long.[1] The skin soundboard, is made of snakeskin or pangolin hide.[1]
