Plural
[edit]Can some mention on the page or links that sistra is the plural? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.73.197.212 (talk) 01:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Done. It was mentioned further along in the article. I've mentioned it at the beginning, and cited a reference. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 12:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Image
[edit]Any objection to changing the image to this? It seems like a direct picture would be better than a very small, indirect depiction. --Starwed 04:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Seistrum
[edit]I seen the word "seistrum" used to describe ancient Minoan instruments that look very similar. Is it the same thing? 70.20.171.242 (talk) 22:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- The word sistrum is actualy spelled sistrum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.25.13.79 (talk) 23:31, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Sistrum
[edit]Wikipedia stated in answer to question about use of sistrum in bible that was an Egyptian used in Egypt and no red to the Hebrew Testament of its use of the sistrum. In 1Sm 18:6-9: "When David and Saul approached (David's return after slaying the Philistine), women came out from each of the cities of Israel to meet King Saul, singing and dancing with tambourines, joyful songs, and sistrums" 73.44.17.30 (talk) 17:57, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
