a timbrel: Toph:, in Arabic called duff: or diff:, and in Spanish adduffa:, is the tabret: used in the East; being a thin, broad, wooden hoop, with parchment extended over one side of it, to which small pieces of brass, tin, etc., are attached, which make a jingling noise. It is held up with one hand and beaten upon with the other, and is precisely the same as the tambourine.
