Rabelista (Rabel player)

The rabel (or arrabel,^[1] robel, rovel^[2]) is a bowed stringed instrument from Spain, a rustic folk-fiddle descended from the medieval rebec,^{[citation needed]} with both perhaps descended from the Arab rabab.^[3] The instrument generally has two or three strings of gut or steel, or sometimes twisted horse-hair.^[4]^[5] The instrument is first mentioned in the 12th century,^{[citation needed]} and it is still used in parts of Latin America, as well as the Spanish provinces of Cantabria and Asturias.
