The rabel (or arrabel,[1] robel, rovel[2]) is a bowed stringed instrument from Spain, a rustic folk-fiddle descended from the medieval rebec,[citation needed] with both perhaps descended from the Arab rabab.[3] The instrument generally has two or three strings of gut or steel, or sometimes twisted horse-hair.[4][5] The instrument is first mentioned in the 12th century,[citation needed] and it is still used in parts of Latin America, as well as the Spanish provinces of Cantabria and Asturias.
The rebel is often associates with secular instrumental music, and the most common rabel used in the Middles ages was the soprano.[6]
