From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nevel was a stringed instrument in use by the ancient Hebrew people. The Greeks referred to it as the nab'lia.[1] Much conjecture has been put forth on its exact nature, but it was probably not a standardized instrument. Most hold it to be a form of lyre, harp, or psaltery. The King James Version renders the word into English as psaltery or viol, and the Book of Common Prayer renders it lute.[2]
