Simone Sedda

In good condition considering its age, a nice Rabab from the area of Balochistan. This instrument called “Suroz” is a bowed string instrument similar to a fiddle or sarangi and played vertically. It is considered the national instrument of the Baloch people of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It has three or four main strings for playing. There are five to eight sympathetic strings, made of thin steel and tuned according to the raag to be played.  The strings are not played like on the sarangi by pressing them with the nails, but by touching them with the fingers, but without pressing them onto the neck.

The highest two strings are mostly fingered. The player uses the highest string up to an octave. The sound is very close to the Nepalese sarangi. In the south of Balochistan there are smaller surozes, there the length of the playing strings is about 33-35 cm. In the north and in Sindh, surozes can be much bigger, up to a string length of 45 cm.  Within the Baloch culture until modern times, the caste associated with playing the suroz would be the ludi caste. Members of the caste would learn to play this instrument from their families because the art of instrumental music was considered a hereditary profession. The instrument for sale here needs a good set-up considering its age, but all parts work properly!
