This study looks to computationally examine if any relation exists between the timbre of the rebab, a Malaysian traditional stringed instrument and the tuning system used in Makyung (also spelled as Makyong or Mak Yong) performances, a form of traditional musical dance-drama from Malaysia that was proclaimed a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” by UNESCO in 2005. a9781450384209 (ISBN)
