The Rabab, an amazingly sophisticated Afghani tribal instrument, is the 2000-year-old grandfather of the lute. (Imagine a cross between banjo, fiddle, flute, and mandolin, then throw in 15 sympathetic strings for built-in reverb). My rabab has 4 main nylon playing strings, 3 drone steel strings, and 15 sympathetic steel strings. Rabab is also popular in India, Pakistan and other neighboring countries, being an accompaniment of the orchestra, as well as played for solo performance and exists in different shapes.
