same (see item 761). Could be a relative of <strong>the</strong> guitar family, as features of<br />
<strong>the</strong> original arab qanbus are actually few: pegs are guitar pegs, no tail,<br />
wood-made soundboard. Unlike item 758 Pegbox design is same as<br />

Observations : This wonderful old item is displayed in Mataram museum. The wide soundboard is<br />

The design shows obvious influences from <strong>the</strong> Sulawesi making: button-shaped nail<br />
heads, mirror head and head angle are typical of <strong>the</strong> Gorontalo production, and such<br />
overall shaped still can be observed among <strong>the</strong> Bugis in Pare pare, Makassar.<br />

Lute maker : unknown<br />
Owner : unknown<br />
Name : Gambus (Lombok, <strong>In</strong>donesia)<br />
Age / Year : 2010’s<br />
Diameter Di = about 200 mm<br />
Le = about 950 mm<br />
Lm= 45 mm<br />
Pi= about 160 mm<br />
Observations : Item pbserved in <strong>the</strong> street by a tourist. This austere looking lute doesn’t feature any<br />
paintings – unusual in Lombok - , but a wonderfully carved peghead. The design of <strong>the</strong><br />
fingerboard suggest this is well a monocave lute: Sound box and neck are covered by<br />
one and sole part .<br />
The Peghead pattern illustrates something like a magic frog-like face. The typical<br />
U-shaped section of <strong>the</strong> pegbox is similar with items 776, 781, 782, 783. 7 pegs (3<br />
choirs x 2 strings + 2 strings ) . Sound board is wooden. Circle shape soundhole.<br />
