Chapter 21. On the second division, which is called _organica_.

1. The second division, organica, has to do with those [instruments]

that, filled with currents of breath, are animated so as to sound

like the voice, as for example, trumpets, reeds, Pan’s pipes, organs,

the pandura, and instruments like these.[261]

[261] The pandura was a stringed instrument! In the succeeding

sections these instruments are briefly described, and the

sambuca, another stringed instrument, is also included.
