zil

🗣️

DEFINITION

a small metallic finger cymbal used traditionally by belly dancers and folk musicians in Middle Eastern music

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The dancer attached a brass zil to each thumb and middle finger before stepping out onto the stage floor. Clear rhythmic ringing sounds filled the room as the performer struck each zil in harmony with traditional drums. Craftsmen cast each zil from quality bronze alloy to produce a sharp resonance that carries across noisy venues. Learning to strike a zil precisely requires months of hand muscle coordination training alongside basic dance footwork. The musician kept time for the ensemble by clicking a pair of zil cymbals during complex musical transitions.
