5KEMANTCHE (Arab. Kemangeh), a Persian bowed instrument with three strings, dating from unknown antiquity. The body is globular with flattened open ends, and made preferably of 'tut' (mulberry) wood. One end is covered with skin upon which rests the bridge; the tailpin is of metal, and lengthened for resting on the ground during performance. There are three strings, two of silk and one of metal, and the long bow is strung with black horse-hair (PLATE LIII. No. 3). Amongst the Arabs the instrument takes a simpler and less ornamental form, the body being made out of a cocoa-nut or a hollow gourd, and there are generally but two strings of twisted horse-hair. The word means 'a little bow,' and the Arabic epithet à gouz ('ancient') is usually added. It is undoubtedly one of the earliest of all bowed instruments, claiming identity with or descent from the somewhat mythical Ravannastrom of India, from which the Urheen (Erhhsien) of the Chinese is also supposed to have sprung.
