This rabab is a combined craft from expert folks in India. The rabab is a unique one string instrument of Arabic origin. References to the rabab are found in ninth and tenth century texts. The sha’ir of the Bedouins which is the poet singer uses the rabab during songs of love and heroism. The rabab is played by resting the instrument on ones knee in the vertical position and using the bow as in a violin. The bow string is coated with rosin which allows it to grab the metal string of the rabab and produce sound via vibration. The bow string is made of real horse hair. The Rabab is 34.5 inches long and has a soundboard made with goatskin held by a wood frame.
You can enjoy this piece as an unusual musical instrument as you sit with family and friends and as a decorative piece.
