Description: | Rebec, fiddle, labelled: "Arnold Dolmetsch / Haslemere / June 1934 No." The body is in the form of a truncated triangle, with rounded edges. It is of violin construction with a separate back and ribs of maple. 4 circular holes are cut into the ribs. The belly is of pine with a geometrical soundhole composed of 8 lozenge-shaped holes encircling a rectangular hole. The four strings are attached to boxwood pegs. The pegbox terminates in a square finial. The bow (M43a-1983) has an outward curving, octagonal stick with neither a distinct head nor an adjustable frog. The tension of the hair is maintained by the player's fingers. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | wood rebecs Haslemere Festival ivory animal fibre metal thread | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-13549 |
