Barbat (lute)
The ''barbat'' ( fa, بربت) or ''barbud'' was a lute of Central Asian or Greater Iranian or Persian origin. Barbat is characterized as carved from a single piece of wood, including the neck and a wooden sound board. Possibly a skin-topped instrument for part of its history, it is ancestral to the wood-topped oud and biwa and the skin-topped Yemeni qanbus. Although the original barbat disappeared, modern Iranian luthiers have re-created the instrument, looking at historical images for details. The modern re-created instrument (Iranian Barbat) resembles the oud, although differences include a smaller body, longer neck, a slightly raised fingerboard, and a sound that is distinct from that of the oud. History The ''barbat'' probably originated in Central Asia. The earliest image of the ''barbat'' dates back to the 1st century BC from ancient northern Bactria. While in his book (''Les instruments de musique de l’Inde ancienne'') musicologist Claudie Marcel-Dubois pointed o ...
