rebaba, video, mindful of firemuseum records I traded the strumstick in for a rebaba today - this is a one-string bowed instrument, used in Syria, Jordan, etc., and by Bedouin; it's found every- where. The following is an interesting video I found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2FHHXyXUpk&feature=related What I did with it is hardly smooth: http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/modern1.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/modern2.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/modern3.mp3 When the bridge is replaced, the instrument will sound great; in the meantime, the three pieces above are really interesting to me. There's also one last recording from Pennsylvania: http://www.alansondheim.org/pa.mp4 - rough, but enjoy anyway.
