15 String Plain Uyghur Dolan Rebab
Our instruments are often made to order by a master craftsman. However, he is getting older and
mulberry wood is becoming expensive, so place your order while we can assure you of quick service.Crafted from mulberry and cowhide, this rare stringed instrument comes from Kashgar, an outpost on the ancient Silk Road.
This Dolan Rawap/Rebab is a short necked lute like its cousin, the Kashgar Rawap. The Dolan Valley is part of the Uyghur region in China´s Xinjiang Autonomous Region, and shares much of its music and culture with the Kashgar region. This rawap is made in the distinctive Dolan style, featuring extra sympathetic strings giving it an even more robust sound. This instrument is quite similar to the 13 string version; it was made from an ancient design. It has 15 strings and is approximately 90cm long. It is decorated colorfully on both sides, as well as along the neck, with geometric patterns and symbols. The most impressive patterns on this instrument are along the back. The strings are made of steel, and are plucked with either finger or plectrum.
As our gift, we also enclose copies of: the”Dolan Rebab King” VCD/CD or the “Red Rose” CD, along with a tuning guide, music scores, a muqam poster and a photocopy of the Uyghur Musical Instrument book.
Please note: This instrument is larger and heavier than the other Rebabs, and therefore it costs more to ship. The standard option is $80 priority shipping, which takes about 25 days.
Each of our musical instruments is carefully packed into a custom built, sturdy wooden box to ensure its safe arrival at your home. For most intruments, please allow 20 to 30 days for priority shipping; express shipping is available as well. We are eager to answer any questions you may have, please feel free to ask the seller.
