What is "rebecs"

Usage examples of "rebecs".

Soft music of lutes and rebecs at once began to issue from the adjacent ballroom.

It was run nominally by an Austrian named Vogt, who worked painstakingly during the daylight hours putting together rebecs, shawms and theorbos, and spied at night.

To make up for it the sound of the rebecs seemed to be trapped in the helmet.
