Skor Daey
The skor daey (ស្គរដៃ "hand drum" or "clay drum") is a short goblet drum from Cambodia, approximately 40 centimeters tall and 15 centimeters wide at the top. There are two common goblet drums there, the skor chhaiyam (Khmer: ស្គរឆៃយ៉ាំ), a very long goblet drum, resembling some from Burma, and the skor daey. Alternative spellings in English include skor dai (hand) and skor dei (clay, also alternative in Khmer: ស្គរដី). Other Khmer names included skor arak, skor kar (ស្គរការ), skor ayai (ស្គរអាយ៉ៃ។). The name skor areak or skor arak or skor aaroksa (Khmer:ស្គរអារក្ស) links this variant to the Arak music it is used to play. Skor kar linked it to ''kar boran'' music for weddings, where two drums are used, representing male and female. Skor ayai refers to ''ayai'' repartee singing, in which a man and woman alternate quick, witty comments or replies back and forth, accompanied by an e ...

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. The tros, with the exception of the tro Khmer, are strung so that the bowstring is permanently placed between the two stin ...

It consists of two drums: the ''thon'' (โทน), a goblet drum with a ceramic or wooden body and the '' rammana'' (รำมะนา), a small rebana-typed frame drum or tambourine. They are used usually in the ''khruang sai'' ensemble. The ''thon'' gives a low pitch and the ''rammana'' gives a high pitch. Earlier in the 20th century, the ''thon'' and ''rammana'' were sometimes played separately. The instruments are also used in Cambodian music in the mohori ensemble.
