Rabab

A rabab is a traditional stringed musical instrument commonly used in Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and South Asian cultures. It typically features a lute-like body made of wood, with one or more strings stretched over a resonator and played by plucking with a plectrum or fingers. The rabab produces a warm, resonant sound and is often used in classical and folk music for both melodic and rhythmic expression. Variations exist across regions, but it generally serves as an expressive instrument that conveys cultural stories and emotions through its music.
