Whereas we use the organ or piano to enhance our singing, they use every instrument that Israel as a nation uses. They have their drums and cymbals. As to the guitar, we do not object as long as it is played with the right beat with solemnity.
Timothy Tow, Psalm, n.d.
(√ of following; cf. 𝔗 תֻּפָּא Ex 15:20 timbrel, Arabic دُفٌّ (duffun) drum).
