Antique Rabab The finest rabab in our collection, this one has a very amazing mellow sound that is sure to please you. The inlay on this rabab is perhaps not the fanciest but works very well for this instrument, the little band around the neck is a very nice touch. A solid block of mulberry was used to carve this rabab. Mulberry has proven to be the tried and true wood for this instrument. This rabab has a 6 string set up, verses the usual five. The additional string used is a gandhar like you would find on a VK sitar.
