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.
