CYMBAL, n. L., Gr.

1. A musical instrument used by the ancients, hollow and made of brass, somewhat like a kettle-drum but the precise form is not ascertained.

2. A mean instrument used by gypsies and vagrants, made of a steel wire, in a triangular form, on which are passed fie rings, which are touched and shifter along the triangle with an iron rod held in the left hand, while it is supported in the right by a ring, to give it free motion.
