Fair for the price
Mark Bennett 13.04.2024
Positives:
The pegs move when you want them to and stay still when you want them to, which is a very good quality for an instrument at this low price. The nut allows the strings to move while tuning and doesn't trap them - again, that's good. The bridge comes in a packet and you place it and set it up yourself, but the feet are well-moulded to the body. The tailpiece is secure.
The sound is as you would expect for a thick-bodied instrument with a small resonating chamber and no soundpost, and I'm happy that it's a good representation of a medieval instrument: it's not a great sound, but it's the right sound. Five stars for the instrument at its price. Despite the negatives below, I would say that's good value for money overall.
Negatives:
The bow is an embarrassment to its maker. The "hair" is plastic and has no ability to grip the string or to take up rosin. It's a non-functional toy. It would have been more honest to charge the same price and not claim there was a bow included. One star for the bow.
The case is very good in many ways and then very bad in two important ways. There's a pocket for rosin and/or strings. It's well-padded. It's deep enough for the instrument without its bridge, as it ships, but once the bridge is on, the case isn't deep enough. It still fits, but to close the case you have to put pressure on the bridge and thereby onto the soundboard. Even though a rebec is quite sturdy and will probably be fine, that's an awful idea when an extra 2cm of depth would have avoided this issue. There is also no space in the case designed for a bow. Two stars for the case.

Preiswert und urwüchsig
Radolfo 31.08.2011
Das Instrument überrascht im positiven Sinne mehr als man bei dieser Preisklasse erwarten sollte. Kratzig, rauh und urtümlich im Klang kommt es den Originalen des Mittelalters und der Antike ziemlich nahe. Den Bogen sollte man jedoch umgehend durch einen besseren ersetzen.
Die Ansprache ist dennoch gewöhnungsbedürftig (wie übrigens auch bei authentischen Nachbauten der Originale). Dies ist jedoch noch durch die Wahl der Saiten beeinflussbar.
Das Instrument besitzt Zimmerlautstärke, kann sich aber dennoch in Gebäuden mit guter Akustik (Kirchen) hören lassen.
Die Rebec lässt sich sowohl durch das Pressen der Saiten aufs Griffbrett als auch, in der antiken Spielweise, mit den Fingernägeln tangierend spielen.
Der mitgelieferte Koffer erfüllt seinen Zweck zu vollster Zufriedenheit.

Rebec pas prise de bec
REBEC 01.10.2019
Très joli... Magnifique instrument avec du bon son... Livré avec son étui: seul "hic" l'archet authentique ne rentre pas dans l'étui... Dommage... J'ai pu jouer de ce brave instrument de l'époque des chevaliers, issu du Moyen-Âge et du Moyen-Orient... Je kiffe ce son: je vais pouvoir m'éclater avec ça, et les autres instruments tout aussi kiffant que j'ai acheté... ^=^ Merci Thomann...

Jolie instrument mais sonorité difficile
Amnielle 29.12.2019
En soi, il sagit d'un tel bel instrument. Acheté pour Noël en cadeau à un ami violoniste et fan de médiéval, j'ai été attristée de voir qu'il était impossible de le faire sonner correctement. On a changé les cordes, l'archet... Cela venait vraiment de l'instrument en lui-même et de sa composition assez épaisse. Cela reste un très bel objet, bien protéger et arrivée assez rapidement. C'est vraiment dommage.
