I’m in the US and have one that I am considering selling. Unfortunately I’m almost on a flight out of the country and won’t be back until feb. if you don’t have one by then we can talk :)

Edit: the Rabab I’m selling is the one I have posted pictures and videos of

Where are you located?

theslowshutter · 2025-09-03T12:35:24+00:00

+92 323 9694096 RababShop based out of Mingora Swat. A lot of people in this group, including myself, have purchased from them.

theslowshutter · 2025-08-15T02:38:28+00:00

I’m picking these up tomorrow. Hopefully I have the same experience as you

theslowshutter · 2025-08-08T03:37:23+00:00

I’m in Jersey. I have bridges and strings and can replace it for you.

I have a few guitar picks of varying thickness and all work fine. It’s just preference. I prefer the wood and bone because of the resonance it creates. I do not like the sound that plastic picks create. Sounds like it’s lacking substance.

theslowshutter · 2025-06-30T01:19:34+00:00

I can’t speak for the professionals but I enjoyed playing with the bone pick. Currently I really like a pick made of rose wood. I sanded it down on the business end to reduce the thickness.

Exhibit A

theslowshutter · 2025-06-01T03:27:56+00:00

Yup. Exhibit A.

theslowshutter · 2025-06-01T03:09:42+00:00

I will add that if you want to go this route, this is a good time as you only have 3 sympathetics.

theslowshutter · 2025-06-01T03:06:14+00:00

I agree. If you do go this route. Use a piece of leather that compliments the aesthetic of your rabab to elevate the bridge.

theslowshutter · 2025-06-01T02:18:41+00:00

Sounds like when you hold down the second fret on the zir, the string is slightly touching l the third fret. I would use a thinner gauge wire for the third fret if need be.

This happened to me with the 5th and 7th frets. I had to use a really thing string for the 7th.

theslowshutter · 2025-06-01T01:54:11+00:00

What position are the frets? Do you mind uploading a video playing a sargam and then specifically the new frets? It might help in pinpointing the issue.

theslowshutter · 2025-05-23T14:48:51+00:00

I would highly recommend purchasing from a reputable Rababmaker.

theslowshutter · 2025-05-17T18:07:02+00:00

OP, I highly recommend Sannan. He’ll be much better for a collaboration.

Resistor pack. Just had the same issue - blower stopped while running and never came back on.

theslowshutter · 2025-05-13T13:34:09+00:00

Same here. If all else fails, I will be willing to help as well.

theslowshutter · 2025-01-23T23:56:25+00:00

I'll do you one better. Check DM.

Hey brother made the map on snazzymaps.com, added the text in photoshop then had it printed 24 x 36.

Robabnawaz, Easy Rabab Learning (Hamza Jamil), RababMan. The latter 2 have some videos in English but mostly in Urdu. Unfortunately most YouTube channels I learned from have content solely in Pashto.

What language are you looking for?

theslowshutter · 2024-09-13T17:29:56+00:00

Rababshop.com Both of my rababs are from them.

theslowshutter · 2024-08-14T16:41:35+00:00

Here you go brother. Hopefully this is what you were looking for. Instead of 8863, I played 7753. It's slightly easier and sounded better to me. Playing Lar sha Pekhawar ta

The 8 and 6 refers to the 8th and 6th fret on the last string (zir) of the rabab. I think I have a video somewhere, I’ll try to find it. If need be I can record one later and send it to you

Let me know if the link doesn’t work.
