What is a Kinnor

Kinnor (Hebrew: כִּנּוֹר) is an ancient Israelite musical instrument. The kinnor is the first string instrument to be mentioned in the Bible, appearing in Genesis 4:21 and was typically played with a plectrum (pick), though the Book of Samuel in the Bible notes that David played the kinoor "with his hand. It has been referred to as the "national instrument" of the Jewish people. The word kinnor is used in modern Hebrew to signify the modern Western violin.
