Later it was performed in communal houses, inns and private homes. Ca Tru requires at least three performers. The single is always a woman and play the phach, an instrument made of wood or bamboo that is beaten with two wooden sticks. A musician accompanies the singer on the dan day, a long-neck lute with three silk strings and 10 frets. There is also a drummer or trong chau. The drummer shows his approval of the singer or the songs depending on how he hits the drum. If he likes a song he might hit the side of the drum several times. If he is disappointed with the singer, he hits the drum twice. The guitar player must follow the rhythm of the phach.
