Kommentar zu Jeschijahu 5:12
וְהָיָ֨ה כִנּ֜וֹר וָנֶ֗בֶל תֹּ֧ף וְחָלִ֛יל וָיַ֖יִן מִשְׁתֵּיהֶ֑ם וְאֵ֨ת פֹּ֤עַל יְהוָה֙ לֹ֣א יַבִּ֔יטוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָדָ֖יו לֹ֥א רָאֽוּ׃
Zither und Psalter, Pauke, Flöte und Wein macht ihr Zechgelage, aber das Werk des Herrn schauen sie nicht.
Rashi on Isaiah
harp and lute A lute has more strings than a harp. [Perhaps Rashi explains נֵבֶל as a lyre, which may have more strings than a harp.] Now why is it called נֵבֶל? Because it disgraces (מְנַבֵּל) all kinds of musical instruments. In Midrash Tehillim (81:3).

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
כנור Harp. A well-known musical instrument.21This remark is quite superfluous, but very probably the comments on נבל and חליל elicited also—for the sake of completeness—a word for כנור.
