Biblical and contemporary sources mention the following instruments that were used in the ancient Temple: * the ''Nevel'', a 12-stringed harp; * the ''Kinnor'', a lyre with 10 strings; * the Shofar, a hollowed-out ram's horn; * the ''chatzutzera'', or trumpet, made of silver; * the ''tof'' or small drum; * the ''metziltayim'', or cymbal; * the ''paamon'' or bell; * the ''halil'' or big flute.
