He gracefully plays the rebab, a two-stringed bowed lute with a velvet-covered, heart-shaped resonator and beaded tassels, holding it upright with the spike resting on the floor. The musician bows the strings with one hand while delicately pressing them with the other, surrounded by other gamelan instruments in the serene, sacred atmosphere of a royal court performance. natural day light, euphoric vibrant, whimsical, serene, behind the scene leading line.
