It is a widespread misconception though I have found a few
references to it
as a xylophone
Which of the instrument names on plate XII of Syntagma Musicum II
do you
think refers to the keyless Hurdy-Gurdy ?
if you look at the plate XII as published in Wikipedia:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Syntagma13.png
you will see that the numbers are missing so all referers are
conclusions from knowledge outside the plate.
My guess is that both wheeled string instruments are "Bawren Lyren"
the word is a plural and there are also more then one Jägerhörner.
To me all other instruments can quite easily be related with names on
the list below, exept the "Singekugel"
~ a "singing ball" which I cannot idetify but for sure the keyless
hurdy gurdy is not a "singing ball"
