I just inserted some information about the use of the rebab in Southeast Asian music. Someone needs to put in descriptions of the construction of the instrument and its size and musical functions in other parts of the Muslim world.

[edit] Originated in Afghanistan !!?
The rebab (also rebap, rabab, rebeb, rababah, al-rababa) is a string instrument which originated in Afghanistan
This is the first time I hear this, I need some solid evidence to accept this. Seems to me like a nationalistic propaganda here ! --Khalid hassani 21:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Often considered?
In Indonesian gamelan music, the rebab is often considered not to be part of the core of gongs, metallophones, and drums but, rather, a vocal-style instrument that does not have to conform to the scale of the exact-pitched core gamelan instruments, and can also be played in relatively free time,
Often considered? I thought ipso facto that's what it was, clearly not part of percussion, obviously a vocal type instrument, and consequently following rules other than the rules of the bulk of the orchestra. Wondering how the existing statement is supportable. Seems counterintuitive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ladarzak (talk • contribs) 20:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
- Yes, you're right, it was waffling language, and my fault, I'm afraid. I cleaned it up some (and added some); is this better? Rigadoun (talk) 18:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Camels
The story about camels may be enlightening, but would someone please write it more clearly? (When drums stop, very bad is not particularly descriptive.) Thanks in advance. Cema (talk) 06:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's gone for now. The cutesy punchline quote, "after drums stop, very bad" (because then comes bass solo) isn't really relevant to this article. __Just plain Bill (talk) 20:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
