Musical instruments were very rare symbols pictured on the Jewish tombstones in the Central Europe during last few centuries. More often were they painted as an illustration to Psalms 137 (136) and 150 on the inside synagogue's walls since the 18th century. Most of those temples where made of wood. No such wooden synagogue and only a dozen or so stone ones survived the World War II. However, some archival photographs and paintings are still witnesses to their better days. Here comes a very important question how far those iconographical sources reflect the instrumentarium used at that time. The other question is how far they reflects the instrumentarium used then by Jewish musicians, especially klezmers (klezmorim).
