Rabaab

Japanese: ラバーブ
Rabaab
Arabic name used for various kinds of stringed instruments in the Islamic cultural sphere of Asia and Africa and its sphere of influence. Originally it referred to bowed lutes, but it also includes plucked instruments. Bowed lutes are broadly divided into two types: the wooden pear-shaped fiddle with a neck and body connected, and the spike fiddle (also known as kokyu) with a long neck that passes through the body. The former includes the rabab of North Africa and Turkey (now called kemençe in Turkey), and the Indian sarod (also called rabob or rubab, which is also a plucked instrument). Spike fiddles are further divided into those with a resonating body made of a wooden frame with a membrane stretched on both sides (which were originally plucked instruments) and those with a hemispherical resonating body made of a membrane-stretched wood or gourd (such as the Indonesian rebab), and are found in an extremely wide area from North Africa to Southeast Asia and East Asia. It is generally placed on the lap, either leaning diagonally against the torso or vertically, and plucked with a bow. There are two types of plucked string instruments: short-necked (such as the Afghan rubab) and long-necked (such as the Kashgar rubab).
