SAMBUCA
13
Definition
Pronunciation: //samˈbʊkə//
noun
- (music) An ancient form of triangular harp having a very sharp, shrill tone."Cymbals, trumpets and organs (familiar Old Testament vocabulary) appear conventionally enough as cymballe, trwmpedau and organau, but the more obscure psaltria, trigona, and sambucae (psalteries, trigons and sambucae: three types of Greek harp) become psalteris, kornets, shalmes, [a] dulcimus in translation (Chapter Six, paragraph 7); cornets and shawns are, of course, wind instruments."
