When was the rebec invented?

Nobody invented the rebec, since it evolved gradually over many years.There was a very old Arab instrument called a rebabplayed in North Africa and the Middle East. This had a body carved from a single piece of wood covered in dried sheepskin for a sound board, with a long, narrow neck with a pegbox at the end. This instrument had one, two or three strings and was played with a bow or plucked, held vertically on the lap or on the floor.The rebec developed in the 11th and 12th centuries in Europe, directly from the Arab instrument, although it usually had three strings and was small enough to lay along the left forearm while being played - generally with a bow. In the damp climate of Europe it was found difficult to keep the sheepskin soundboard dry and taught, so a thin piece of wood was used instead. This was often of close-grained pinewood.The rebec did not remain popular for very long, being replaced by the viol during the medieval period.Twelfth century manuscripts depict the rebec in many shapes and sizes, initially with two "D" shaped sound holes near the bridge.
