so great was the feeling I had built the fiddle he did not want to stop to make tools and I decided to play my second instrument, a Moorish or rebec rebec based in thumbnail displayed in the Codex of the Cantigas de Santa Maria de Alfonso X El Sabio "and in particular the Cantiga # 170 entitled" Loar devemos to face toujours. "
I talked to Jesus and said he had already built one that is exhibited in the Museum of Music-Stock Luis Delgado Urueña-Valladolid (the photo at right) and without problems to other .
followed the same protocol as the fiddle and started out from the 
proportions miniature and made the appropriate level to put it into the wood which in this case we decided to do a piece of birch (box, mango and socket), and pegs the cover we did of pear, maple bridge, the nut of bone, 
inlaid walnut and the button that makes the role of boxwood tailpiece.
started from the plane to the wooden silhouettes and hollow it later, once recessed handle and carve the headstock.
This time the cover was more complicated because 
is half wood and half of the skin, put the skin in water for 
loosen and then presented it in the box was left open, look with some spikes and some glue and when dry the skin was ready to place the bridge and strings 
on it.
After 
and completion of the headstock, inlaid walnut pieces on the pitch and turned the pegs.
Once that process and after "237" hands of sandpaper and some linseed oil handyman did talk. 
The sound is sharp and a half old has a very special timbre as very old, it was beautiful " in order to can I say." 
rebec's family and / or rebec is very wide, is an instrument that is issued by virtually everyone, this one I show below is a reproduction of one of those represented on the tympanum of the abbey church of San Pedro de Moissac, a jewel of Romanesque architecture.
