@carlosmangela , Yes Carlos, it does a nice job, use fishing-line, once the bow is completed, use fine sandpaper on the "hair" to rough it up a bit, then resin normally and play. I experience friction is outstanding, hair will not be a point of care, all organic stuff however, u should be careful of. nylon allows great tension, it cuts like a knife and stretches like elastic. your bow Will jump easily :-) but keep in mind wooden instruments are fragile.
I just read somewhere on the internet that the Rebab is also sold and used in Indonesia and Malaysia. Those places are closer to where you are, if you want you can travel there and ask the locals about traditional instruments stores and they will more than likely tell you. But I think the best Rebabs are sold in Iran and the Arab world.
I'm Iraqi and I live in Iraq, Baghdad. There are a lot of musical stores that sell traditional Iraqi instruments, and the Rebab is one of them. You can also buy Ouds, Jozes and Arabic flutes from here. But it's a little dangerous.
I'm not sure but I guess there are similar stores in the rest of the Arabic world, you can go to Syria or Egypt, those places are safe and surely have traditional Arabic instruments like the Rebab.
Wonderful! please let me know where and for how much can one buy this wonderful instrument. Are there totally 3 varieities of Rabab? thanks!-from an Indian drummer and composer

@Kra7as :-) some chauvinism shining through? You cannot say " the bestest" in this case. It's apples and pears allready.
The Rebab/rabab/rubab/rebec originated somewhwere with a nice climate, those that migrated to the colder wetter climates eventually became violins.
those that went to tropical islands were adopted by the gamelan people.
the role of the instrument changed and so also the construction of it.
the gamelanrabab is to the iranrabab the same as the violin is to the iranrabab
