The instruments used in Bible times can be divided into three basic categories: stringed instruments, such as the harp, the lyre (1), and the lute (2); wind instruments, such as the horn, or shofar (3), the trumpet (4), the much loved flute, or pipe (5); percussion instruments, such as the tambourine (6), the sistrum (7), cymbals (8), and bells (9).
