The rebab (Arabic الرباب or رباب; also rebap, rabab, rebeb, rababah, or al-rababa) is a string instrument which originated in what is now known as Afghanistan,[citation needed] no later than the 8th century, and was spread via Islamic trading routes over much of North Africa, the Middle East, parts of Europe, and the Far East. The bowed variety often has a spike at the bottom to rest on the ground, and is thus called a spike fiddle in certain areas.

The rebab is considered part of the lute family (oud in Arabic). Plucked versions like the kabuli rebab (sometimes referred to as the robab or rubab) are plucked like the lute, but other versions are played with a bow. The closest to it is the gusle, an instrument that is still widely used in the Balkans. It is almost certainly the direct ancestor of the European violin, via the Medieval rebec, as the Rebab is a key instrument of Arabo-Andalusian music. It is used in a wide variety of musical ensembles and genres, corresponding with its wide distribution, and is built and played somewhat differently in different areas.

Rebab is a two-stringed fiddle. This instrument are found in many Muslim countries.
Rebab has an almost heart-shaped body made of wood. The body is covered with a thin layer of skin taken from the intestine or bladder of a buffalo. The two strings are usually made of copper. In fact, what appear to be two strings is actually a single long copper string wound around the bottom of the stick and ending in two pegs at the upper part of the stick. These two strings pass over a wide wooden bridge. Unlike other Asian fiddle, the two tuning pegs of Rebab are exaggeratedly long. These two long tuning pegs will break easily, if they are not gripped closer to the neck of the instrument.
During playing, the player's palm, which hold the bow, is facing upwards. The player's third and fourth fingers should pull the hair of the bow, to create some tension. The Rebab is held vertically, or slightly tilting forwards. There is no finger board on the neck of this instrument. The player's fingers press the strings lightly, and the string should not touch the neck. However, this instrument can produce a fairly loud sound..
