Rebab and phone and rebab and tuning http://www.alansondheim.org/rubab4.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/rebabandphone.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/rebabandtuning.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/rubab5.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/rubab6.jpg The rabab I have is very old And as a result The pegs Don't fit properly Add are almost impossible to turn. Recently I've used peg drop . I put them in yesterday morning. now I'm trying to keep it somewhat in tune. There's still slipping going on but it's better than it was before. So these are some samples of the music while the tuning was occuring in one of them and is simple tune when it was almost completely tuned up in the other. I hope you enjoyed the strangeness of the period I do want to add That I play with my fingers not with a pic And this makes it much more difficult . I'm very bad with the pic. I'm generally very good with my fingers Fingerpicking By the way Barb is not designed for that period So as a result is a kind of awkwardness which I'm trying to explore and overcome at the same time. Again hope you enjoy this and get something out of it . I'm simply not sure what these pieces represent or where they stand Or even if they have any musical value to anyone . Good luck in listening. Someday . . . Of course one of the pieces was interrupted by a phone call. and the other by one of the playing string slipping out . As for the 3 illustrations Dash these are taken From older photographs And tend to reflect or reflect The way I feel about struggling with the instrument at this point . Thank you.
