Rebab

A bowed string instrument that originated in the Middle East in the 8th century or earlier. It consists of a small, usually rounded body, the front of which is covered in a membrane and has a long neck with between 1 and 4 strings. A peg at the bottom allows it to be placed on the floor or any surface when being played. The instrument was spread throughout Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East along trade routes. Other 'spike fiddles', such as the Chinese huqin, are generally considered to be descendants of the Rebab.
