APPENDIX. 493
The shepherds and country people are fond of the pipe of Pan, which has generally
twelve reeds, and is called 'ZuptyZ or laptvya. by the Greeks, and Neith by the Turks; but
according to Pietro della Valle,1 it is named Syrinx by the former and Muscat by the
latter. It was anciently formed of seven unequal Jistuhc, - and sometimes of nine, as we see
in Theocritus, "who calls it eneajpoivoy.
The tambour dc basque is particularly used by the dancing derwisches in their reli-
gious ceremonies. Its Turkish name is Dane.
The Turks have the large drum, and another of a small kind, being hemispheres of
bronze covered with a skin.
They have also cymbals, but I never saw them used in Greece.
