The Moroccan Berber musical instrument Ribab is crafted from wood, leather, silver sheets, and Persian hair threads.
The Ribab is indeed a traditional Berber musical instrument from Morocco. It's typically crafted with a wooden body, often carved from a single piece of wood, and covered with a stretched membrane made of animal skin, traditionally goat skin. The strings are usually made of horsehair or nylon today, although in the past, they were made from sheep gut. Silver sheets or metal ornaments may decorate the instrument, adding to its aesthetic appeal. The Ribab's unique sound is created by plucking or bowing the strings, and it's often used in Berber music to accompany storytelling or ceremonial events.
