Music of Ancient Greece – p. 22 roptron: a small and light drum consisting of a wooden hoop with a piece of parchment stretched over it and small pieces of metal fastened around it: a tambourine. salpinx: straight trumpet made of metal or bone. The horn trumpet was called keras = horn. The shell trumpet was called triton in honor of Triton, son of Neptune [i.e.,. Poisedon] and his trumpeter. sambyke: a stringed instrument in the form of a small harp whose name is derived from a ship and which was introduced into Greece from Syria and Egypt. The instrument retains the same name because its shape recalls the image of a sambyke (= "boat"). [See above.] seistron: from the word seio (= "to shake"). In Latin: sistrum. A small percussion instrument in the shape of a stirrup or horseshoe, with a handle and loose crossbars lined with tiny metal discs. It came from Egypt, where it was used in cult ceremonies in honor of Isis. Aristotle relates that along the river Escamandros grew a certain type of plant named sistro or seistros, supposedly belonging to the chickpea species, whose seeds when dry produced soft-sounding noises when shaken, and which were believed to frighten off evil spirits. [See above, top right.] simikion: a stringed instrument of the psalterion family with 35 strings, like the epigoneion. skytalion: a small stick; term for a very small aulos. The elymos or Phyrgian aulos was surnamed skytalias.
Music of Ancient Greece – p. 23 spadix: a stringed instrument like the lyra, mentioned gy Nicomachus. It is also a branch of the palm tree with its fruits or dates. syrinx: Pan pipe or shepherd's pipe. tityros, tityrinos aulos: a shepherd's aulos made of reed or cane. trichordon: a three-stringed instrument, also called pandoura. It was perhaps the only instrument with a neck used by the Greeks; of the lute family. trigonon, trigonos: a stringed instrument of triangular form, as its name indicates. It was actually a harp and was played by the fingers or with a plectrum, and it had various strings of different lengths. It belonged to the class of "polychord" (manystringed) instruments. tympanon: a percussive instrument in the form of a cylindrical box, with skin membranes stretched over both ends; it was played with the hand and usually by women during the rites of Cybele and Dionysos. A kind of tambour or hand-drum. [See above.] Tyrrhenos aulos: an Etruscan aulos. xylophonon: from xylon = "wood", and phone = "sound". The word xylophonon was unknown in ancient Greece and the use of the "xylophone" is not certain. However, an instrument in the form of a small ladder appears on various Apulian vases. It could well have been a kind of sistrum or seistron. === === ===
