Rebab Anime Drawing Instrument
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
The Rebab is an interesting string instrument. It was spread through Islamic trading routes. It is one of the oldest bowed instruments. The first one appeared in the 8th century.
There are three main types. The one I drew is the spike fiddle variant. It is normally made of parchment or sheepskin. The instrument is normally used to play the basic melody.
The instrument doesn’t have a standardized scale. It is normally played with the buka, as part of an ensemble of music. In Malaysia, the rebab is important for traditional music.
It is also played for healing ritual mass known as Main Peteri. I hope you find amusing learning about this musical instrument. This is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye. Bye. God bless.
