Replacement rebab


This is a replacement rebab piece which is so superior to the original
piece that it overruns the original piece; please give a listen and no
longer look for the original piece, which has permanently disappeared.

If you haven't checked out the cobza 3-5, you might still like these -
they have remained intact on the site. Apologies for the original poor
rebab piece, but things happen sometimes - actually things happen all
the time.
