 | | The strings comprised the kinnor, or nebhel or nebhel; the winds: the shophar, or qeren, chatsotserah, chalil, and 'ughabh; percussion: toph, metsiltayim, tsltselim, mena'an'im, shalishim. |
 | | In Psalms 81:2, the kinnor is called "pleasant," and Isaiah 24:8 speaks of the "joy" of the kinnor. |
 | | Only once (Isaiah 16:11) is the kinnor associated with mourning, and Cheyne infers from this passage "the kinnor was used at mourning ceremonies." But the inference is doubtful; the prophet is merely drawing a comparison between the trembling of the strings of the lyre and the agitation in his own bosom. |
