WHAT DOES RABAB MEAN IN GERMAN?

Rebab

The Rebab refers to Turkish and Arabic stringed instruments with a simple round sound and usually two or three strings. Through Spain and Sicily, the Rebab came to Central Europe, and here, in the 13th century, the Rebec, one of the most important stringed instruments of the Middle Ages. Despite its limited range of more than one octave, the Rebab became a popular instrument of entertainment in the Ottoman Empire. There are similarities to Kamancheh, which is played in the Iranian music. A form of the Rebab with small circular resonance body and three strings is played in Indonesia. The rebab should not be confused with the rubab found in Afghanistan, a stringed instrument with about 19 strings and a double corpus. Likewise to be distinguished from the Rebab are the stringed Ghichak played in Afghanistan and the related Sarinda. From the Rubab the plucked Iranian Langhalslaute Tar with double resonance body has developed.
