History (Wikipedia):

From where we get Rabab (Afghani)- Small history below:

Our knowledge about the Rabab (Afghani) is from Wikipedia. As per Wikipedia, we shared this small history to let our customers know about the Rabab history. Rubab, robab, or rabab (Persian: رُباب, Punjabi: ਰਬਾਬ, Kashmiri: رَبابہٕ, Sindhi: رَبابُ (Arabic script), रबाबु (Devanagari), Azerbaijani / Turkish: Rübab, Tajik / Uzbek рубоб) serves as a lute-like musical instrument. Interestingly, the people of Afghanistan consider the rubab their national musical instrument. Furthermore, musicians commonly play it in India and Pakistan, mostly by Pashtuns, Balochis, Sindhis, Kashmiris, and Punjabis.

Moreover, musicians create variants of the rubab, including the Kabuli rebab of Afghanistan, the Rawap of Xinjiang, the Pamiri rubab of Tajikistan, and the seni rebab of northern India. As a result, the instrument and its variants spread throughout West, Central, South, and Southeast Asia. Notably, the Kabuli rebab from Afghanistan derives its name from the Arabic rebab, and musicians play it with a bow; in contrast, in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, players pluck the instrument, which is distinctly different in construction.

Henry George Farmer identified the earliest historical record of an instrument named rabab in 10th-century Arabic texts. Moreover, musicians subsequently gained popularity for this instrument, along with its variations like rubab, rebab, and rabob, in various regions of West, Central, South, and Southeast Asia. In addition, old Persian books mention it, and many Sufi poets include it in their poems. Furthermore, the traditional instrument of Khorasan is present in Afghanistan, and musicians widely use it in countries such as Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as in the Xinjiang province of northwest China and the Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab regions of northwest India, this provides a basic history of the instrument.
