Smith’s Bible Dictionary (1863)

In the Prayer-book version of (Psalms 98:6) “with trumpets also stands also and shawms ” is the rendering of what stands in the Authorized Version “with trumpets and sound of cornet .” The Hebrew word translated cornet is treated under the head. The “shawm” was a musical instrument resembling the clarinet.
