given to a family of instruments\u2014differing in form\u2014played with a bow or plectrum across various regions of Central Asia and the Islamic world. It has many varieties, such as the Turkish, Egyptian, Maghrebi, Iraqi, Indonesian, Uyghur, Afghan and Pakistani rebab. Organologically belonging to the &#8220;spike fiddle&#8221; class, the Turkish rebab is historically traced back to the \u0131kl\u0131\u011f, the bowed instrument of the Central Asian Turks.<\/p>\n<p>The rebab played in Turkey\u2014the one whose making is taught in the workshop\u2014is a three-stringed, fretless, bowed instrument made by stretching hide over a coconut shell. Almost all of its parts\u2014body, hide, horsehair and wood\u2014come from separate origins. At the beginning of the <em>Rebabn\u00e2me<\/em>, Sultan Veled points to this multiplicity: whereas the ney laments the separation of a single reed, the rebab&#8217;s cry is greater and more varied because each of its parts has been torn from its own origin. This thought, which he ties to the opening of Rumi&#8217;s <em>Mesnev\u00ee<\/em>, is summed up in the saying, &#8220;If the ney laments once, the rebab laments a thousand times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The history of the rebab in Anatolia is intertwined with the Mevlev\u00ee tradition. According to Abd\u00fclbaki G\u00f6lp\u0131narl\u0131, the rebab came to Anatolia together with Rumi&#8217;s caravan. G\u00f6lp\u0131narl\u0131 notes that both Rumi and his son Sultan Veled played the rebab; certain couplets in the <em>D\u00eev\u00e2n-\u0131 Keb\u00eer<\/em> suggest that Shams-i Tabrizi may have played it as well.<\/p>\n<p>Being made of various organic materials, the rebab is sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, which makes holding its tuning harder than for many other instruments. Combined with the difficulty of playing on its long, fretless neck, this led over time to a decline in the number of rebab players, and the instrument came close to being forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when rebab players in Turkey numbered no more than the fingers of one hand, Rahmi Oru\u00e7 G\u00fcven\u00e7 took up the cause and, through the training he gave both in Turkey and abroad, helped increase the number of people playing the instrument.

As we tried to bring it together from separate parts, it in turn brought together 13 very different people. For a shared purpose, everyone brought out and used every quality they had.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed every single stage of it. I learned a great deal about the rebab. This experience showed me how much making your own rebab before you even begin to learn to play it strengthens the bond between you. Even though I still can&#8217;t get a sound out of my rebab, I loved it\u2014especially its colour \ud83d\udda4<\/p>\n<p>As for the process, there were some waits, mainly because we were a large group relative to the tools we used for decorating the rebab. Apart from that, everything was wonderful. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed.<\/p>\n<p>And finally I say: how good it is that Oru\u00e7 Hoca once tossed that coconut to Er\u015fan abi, and that things came all the way here. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"toggle-links align_none\"><button class=\"collapsible-content-more\">Show More<\/button><button class=\"collapsible-content-less\">Show Less<\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_border align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default reversed stacking_default\" id=\"gamze\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-8 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3 class=\"w-text\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Gamze G\u00f6nc\u00fc<\/span><\/span><\/h3><div class=\"wpb_text_column with_collapsible_content\" data-content-height=\"250px\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Beyond learning a great deal of technical knowledge about the rebab, the camp was a process full of awareness in which I formed a closer bond both with the instrument and with myself. Although it seemed as if body and mind were at work, deep down I felt it did my soul good too.<\/p>\n<p>When I first took the rebab in my hands, I couldn&#8217;t quite define the bond between us. In time I realised that this instrument, whose timbre reaches into the depths\u2014plain, essential, free of excess\u2014touches the human heart often with even a single string. Its being just as it is reminded me of my own true nature and deepened the bond between us. So, even when I hesitated or felt torn during the making, I left it just as it was; this process taught me not to expect too much of myself.<\/p>\n<p>The screeching sound as the neck was drilled, the mishaps in making its bridge, needing help at many stages, at times simply not being able to do it, and the sound that just wouldn&#8217;t come once the strings were on\u2026 all of it evoked so much in me. In a space steeped in history and culture we gathered memories, and our sharing grew deeper.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful to the dear, soulful Oru\u00e7 hoca who was the means of my meeting the rebab, and to all the teachers who opened this path for me.

When this search became sincere, I saw that divine help came too. My greatest helper was my teacher Oru\u00e7. In those days I did not understand that when my teacher handed me the rebab and said, &#8220;you will carry on with this,&#8221; he was giving me the key to the Heart. One thing I now see more clearly is that I am continuing the journey with the rebab and with soul-friends.<\/p>\n<p>This camp taught me that a beautiful sound arises when I attune myself, together with those close to their Lord, symbolised by the rebab. By &#8220;beautiful sound&#8221; we may think of a timbre, or we might call it a high-frequency vibration.<\/p>\n<p>The rebab&#8217;s having 3 strings also evokes for me a particular tuning or harmony: 3 strings, 3 elements\u2014body, mind, heart. Balancing these 3 elements recalls a saying of my teacher&#8217;s: the turning of our lower self into spirit, and of our speech into Life\u2014that is, the transformation of the low-frequency, egoic self into a high-frequency, refined Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop opened the way for me to observe my own feelings in order to attune myself while part of a group, and to see what I truly prioritise in life. I also learned that the most fulfilling feeling in a person&#8217;s life is to know they are loved and to realise they are cared for. I experienced this too, since my birthday happened to fall during the camp.<\/p>\n<p>My heartfelt thanks to those who created the space for me to taste these beautiful experiences and who made them possible.
