Rabab musical instrument from Afghanistan. The sound box is carved out of one piece of mulberry wood. It has three melody strings, two or three drone strings and up to 15 sympathetic strings. It will need re-stringing and tuning. 80 x 120cm. Mid 20th c. Notes: Rabab is a lute-like musical instrument originating from Afghanistan. The rabab is one of the national musical instruments of Afghanistan and other areas inhabited by the Pashtun and Balouch people. The body is carved out of a single piece of wood, with a head covering a hollow bowl which provides the sound-chamber. The bridge sits on the skin and is held in position by the tension of the strings. The instrument is made from the trunk of a mulberry tree, the head from an animal skin such as goat, and the strings from the intestines of young goats (gut) or nylon. I have been to the wedding of a close friend in Paktia. There was a orchestra of 3 rabab players, about 200 guests and it lasted 3 days.

Nadezhda, "Lute communion (Xavier Diaz-Latorre)", unframed acrylic and pure silk thread on canvas, 2020, 35 x 35cm. One of my greatest inspirations is to paint musicians in the act of playing music. I came across this Spanish lute player on YouTube and was completely enchanted by his acute sensitivity in expressing the music of Bach. He connects so deeply with the music he plays, it seems to me that he and the instrument become one. I created a video of the creation of this painting on YouTube and contacted Xavier Diaz-Latorre who kindly gave me permission to use his recording as the soundtrack. He is very touched that I have created a painting inspired by him. Located in Exeter, UK delivery £30.
