==Recall==
The pear-shaped rebec has a small, shallow body that tapers seamlessly into its long neck.  The four strings run from the tailpiece affixed to the body to the pegbox atop the neck.  It has a reputation as a rustic instrument, with a strident, slightly nasal sound, yet is deceptively difficult to master.
