On the proposed merger of rebec and rabel
I am against. Despite the similarities the historical contexts are different. The two articles should be kept separated with links from the one to the other. Contact Basemetal   here  16:27, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

If the article is merged then, shouldn't all these be merged into an article? I am for a merger if it is comprehensive with all the offshoot instruments.Jacqke (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Rabeca
 * Byzantine lyra: the pear-shaped bowed stringed instrument of the Byzantine Empire.
 * Calabrian lira
 * Cretan lyra: The pear-shaped bowed instrument of Crete, Greece.
 * Dramyin: a Himalayan folk music instrument.
 * Gadulka: a Bulgarian stringed instrument.
 * Gusle: a Serbian folk instrument
 * Kamencheh: a four-stringed instrument similar to the kemenche.
 * Kemenche: a three-stringed instrument from the Black Sea region of Asia Minor.

Got rid of the template as there was no support for the merge. Contact Basemetal   here  19:46, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Rebeco?
Is rebeco another spelling?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 04:16, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Banjo technique?
The final sentence of the opening paragraph of the "rebec" article ends with a dubious assertion. This sentence reads: "Played on the arm or under the chin, the technique and tuning may have influenced the development of the violin and the extended technique of banjo." [emphasis added] This is not supported by the literature and, frankly, makes no sense. The rebec was a Medieval European instrument and the banjo was developed in North America at least a century after the rebec had died out. On top of this, it is unclear what would constitute "extended technique" for the banjo. If I hear no objections, I will delete this reference to banjo technique. --HenryPurcell (talk) 20:53, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
