Description:
The sounds of a gimbri (also known as the sintir or hajhuj), catches the ear in a Marrakesh souq (market). The three strings are tuned with a tuning noose, which can be raised and lowered to change the pitch. A metal piece, with rings, is attached to the neck of the gimbri, which produces a jingling sound audible during play. The gimbris tone is bass and it is used in Chaabi music which was borrowed from the Gnawa tradition.
