  Rebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rebec comes in a variety of slightly different forms, but is typically pear-shaped, with no clear division between the body and neck of the instrument (both being carved from the same single piece of wood).
The rebec originally came in two basic forms: a wider instrument played under the chin; and a relatively narrower instrument which was rested on the player's thigh and played with the bow in an underhand position, like the viol.
His rebec was damaged by a mob that accused him of murder, but it was repaired by one of the monks and returned to him at the end of the story.

 THE REBEC PAGE
In its early history, the rebec was seen as a court instrument (thus several depictions of Kings playing the instrument, or minstrels playing for the biblical King David).
The rebec was played up at the chin or chest, with the instrument held horizontally in the left hand, while the right hand drew the bow laterally across the strings.
They also sell rebecs by fellows named James Bisgood (a treble and a tenor version- see and hear his at the Falsobordone website) and Goerge (a 3 string treble and a 4 string alto), and also carry Marco Salerno rebecs, which are very nice.

As a result of the European crusades, an instrument called the rebec based on the rabab appears first in Spain during the middle 11th century.

And for the first time, the c holes of the rebec and vielle are replaced with the now familiar f holes used on modern violins.
