DULCIMER.—This term, which denotes a stringed instrument (? the mediæval ‘psaltery’; see Music, § 4 (1) (b)), is given incorrectly by EV [Note: English Version.] in Dan_3:5; Dan_3:15 as tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of sumpônya (Gr. loan-word), which prob. = ‘bagpipe’; see Music, § 4 (2) (d).
