🎵 The Importance of Rubab String Composition

The Afghan rubab, renowned for its deep, resonant voice, relies on a precisely arranged string structure to produce its iconic sound. Each string plays a specific musical role—melodic, harmonic, or sympathetic—and the way they’re set up defines your entire rubab experience.

🔧 Craftsmanship Behind Our Rubab String Set

Our rubab string set is not only handmade using durable, high-performance materials, but also follows the traditional Afghan setup:

---

🎼 1. Main Strings (Rectified Nylon – 120 cm)

The core melody is carried through three main strings, made from rectified nylon for a rich, warm tone and smooth playability. These strings are perfect for expressive Afghan classical techniques like plucking, slides, and vibrato.

---

🎶 2. Tarab (Sympathetic) Strings – For Resonance & Harmony

The Tarab strings, also called sympathetic strings, are a hallmark of the rubab’s mystical tone. These 16 strings (3 copper-alloy, 3 bronze, and 10 steel) vibrate with the main notes, creating an echoing, layered harmony that defines the rubab’s magic.

🔁 Traditional Installation Order:

• Copper Strings: For lower sympathetic notes (Sa, Re, Ga) – warm and grounded.

• Bronze Strings: For mid-range notes (Ma, Pa) – bright and balanced.

• Steel/Metal Strings: For high tones – crystal-clear and shimmering.

This layered design mirrors the ancient Afghan method, ensuring balanced resonance and harmonic clarity across every note.

🪕 3. Shahtar Strings – Deep Tonal Support

Our set includes 3 Shahtar strings:

• Nylon – 120 cm

• Shahtar – 120 cm

• Copper – 85 cm

• Bronze – 75 cm

• Metal – 70 cm

Depending on your tonal goals, you may use two or all three Shahtar strings. These act as support bass notes, grounding your melody while enhancing overall richness.
