Dear Adolfo:
The rebek is about 200 years old for sure 199 to be exact but it is not a real
handmade Stradivarius.So it is mostly sentimental value. But it does produce a
wonderful sound.
Cheers.

I was happy to read your account of the REBEK and the related story of
other related Indian musical instruments What made me most happy was your
modest statement and I quote:
>
Really incredible ...have you evaluated it, is it insured .a two
hundred year old REBEK

Sarangi much like the Rebek, is also played with a bow but most of the time it
presents only three strings (sometimes there is fourth that is mostly used as a
drone or sympathetic string).

Very popular in India the Sarangi is used in Carnatic and
