Like the Persian rub\u0101b, the qob\u016bz<\/em> is also made up of a complex cavity: the lower chamber is circular, sometimes even pear-shaped, surmounted by a central chamber similar to that of the Persian rub\u0101b. Only the upper part of the cavity differs on these two instruments. That of the Persian rub\u0101b begins at the base of the neck with the straight plane of the top of the median chamber, for the qob\u016bz<\/em>the top of the middle chamber extends into a point, giving shape to the upper chamber.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The reconstruction of the Aq\u0101 Rez\u0101 qob\u016bz<\/em> was made by reproducing the instrument in the miniature by symmetry. Questions remain: what material is used for the black decoration on the neck? It is not customary to use ebony on this type of instrument. Was the pegbox just inclined or did it have a sickle shape, as is still customary on this type of instrument? <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The back of the qob\u016bz<\/em> was not represented by Aq\u0101 Rez\u0101, or even by the other miniaturists. In contrast to the Persian rub\u0101b, we have instruments affiliated with the qob\u016bz<\/em> mughal: the Pamiri tanbur<\/em> or the Tibetan dranyen.<\/em> These lutes, of the rub\u0101b type, can be used as a model to make the back of the qob\u016bz<\/em>.\u00a0 <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The reconstruction of the Aq\u0101 Rez\u0101 qob\u016bz<\/em> is based on a vibrating string length of around 74cm, so that the physical intervals between the notes are not too great and remain ergonomic. The strings, of which there are three double strings, would be either silk or gut and tuned to the fourth, as is customary on this type of Central Asian instrument. The body of the instrument is made from mulberry, and the pegs and bridge may also be made from mulberry, or even apricot or walnut. The soundboard could be made of parchment goatskin, 0.2 mm thick.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
