Fausets
tsiltselim, from a root to tingle or tinkle. Of two kinds: "loud cymbals," castanettes; four small plates of brass; two plates were attached to each hand, and smitten together, marking for the choir their time for joining in the sacred song; see 1Ch 13:8. And "high sounding cymbals," two larger plates, one held in each hand, and struck together as an accompaniment to other music, like the Italian piatti, marking the rhythm. Zec 14:20, "the bells," rather concave plates of brass attached to horses as an ornament, and tinkling in striking against one another; even the common things shall have sanctity attached to them.

Morish
Ancient musical instruments, formed of metallic plates which were struck together; they produced no melodious sound in themselves (cf. 1Co 13:1) and could only be used with other instruments. 1Ch 15:16,19,28; Ezr 3:10; Ps. 150:51 etc. In Corinthians it is a similitude of one making a show in speaking without love in the heart.
