Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Rebec instrument?
A rebec is a bowed string instrument from the Medieval and early Renaissance periods. It typically has a narrow, pear-shaped body and three strings played with a bow. The rebec is considered an early relative of modern bowed instruments such as the violin.
What does a rebec sound like?
The rebec produces a bright, clear, and expressive tone that carries well in larger spaces. Its sound is often described as slightly nasal, making it well suited to medieval music and historical performances.
How many strings does a rebec have?
Most rebecs have three strings, although historical examples varied and could have between one and five strings. The strings were commonly tuned in fifths, similar to the tuning relationship used on a violin.
Is the rebec difficult to learn for beginners?
The rebec can be beginner-friendly, particularly for players who already have experience with bowed instruments such as the violin. Its simple construction and small number of strings make it possible to begin learning basic melodies relatively easily.
What kind of music is played on a rebec?
The rebec is mainly used for Medieval and Renaissance music. It is also popular with early-music ensembles, historical performers, and musicians involved in historical reenactments.
