    Rather strange ... by the writing behind I'd guess an Arabic type of Lute which seems to be missing its strings?

    The Bedouin Rababah الربابه. Played with a horsehair bow, this instrument has a quadrilateral sound box covered with skin and a single string made from horsehair. Capable of a side range of dynamic accents and ornaments, this instrument is the essential melody instrument of the nomadic Bedouins. It is customarily played by the sha'ir, or poet-singer, to accompany heroic and love songs.

    There ya' go, the wonders of WWW [​IMG]

    Well, it obviously wasn't me with my Arabic type of lute with strings missing, so it's definitely Terrier ... :D

    I've got nothing ... surely you have something Pal? [​IMG]

    I'm back from my birthday lunch. The family has gone (because they know when you are old you need your sleep). I just want to know why there are 2 of them. Why are there 2 of everything? I only had one litre. [​IMG]
