Flute
Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)
a musical instrument, probably composed of a number of pipes, mentioned Daniel 3:5, 7, 10, 15. In Matthew 9:23, 24, notice is taken of players on the flute, here called “minstrels” (but in R.V. “flute -players”). Flutes were in common use among the ancient Egyptians.
