turntable

Inside a belt-driven turntable is a small motor with a rubber band linking it to the underside of the deckplatter (the part you put the record on). […] Direct-driven turntables are a better option than belt-driven ones. […] [I]n direct-driven turntables the centre spindle is the motor (so it drives the motor directly).

He played two copies of the same record, one on each turntable, at the same time. He cut back and forth between the two records by lifting the turntables’ needles and dropping them back on the vinyl. This allowed him to replay the same part of the record over and over again, which lengthened the break from several seconds to several minutes.

glam

Blokes sporting make-up and vertiginous platform boots, songs that were precision-tooled melodramas of bubblegum pop and football-terrace stomp, a belief in pop itself as a liberating space for fantasy and shape-shifting: it’s perhaps unsurprising that glam, in whose rise Bowie played a huge part, has never been taken very seriously.

syrinx

/sɪˈɹɪnd͡ʒiːz/

Learned borrowing from Latin sȳrinx (“reed; reed pipe, panpipes”), from Ancient Greek σῦριγξ (sûrinx, “panpipes; pipe-shaped object”), from Pre-Greek. Doublet of syringe.
The plural form syringes is a learned borrowing from Latin sȳringes.

der

[T]he Syrinx might give occaſion to the bagpipe, by leading the vvay to its invention; for it vvas certainly very natural, both for eaſe in playing, and for the ſaving of breath, and even for the health and ſafety of the performer's lungs, to contrive a method of conveying vvind to the ſeveral pipes by means of bellovvs.

1754 March 25 (date written), Paul Gemsage, “[Further Remarks on the Antient Syrinx]”, in Sylvanus Urban [pseudonym; Edward Cave], editor, The Gentleman’s Magazine, and Historical Chronicle, volume XXIV, London: […] D[avid] Henry and R. Cave, […], published April 1754, →OCLC, page 161, column 2:

Pipes will I fashion of the syrinx flag, / That thou mayst always know whither I roam, / When it shall please thee in our quiet home / To listen and think of love.

1818, John Keats, “Book IV”, in Endymion: A Poetic Romance, London: […] T[homas] Miller, […] for Taylor and Hessey, […], →OCLC, page 192, lines 690–693:

In Dr. Sven Hedin's collection there is a fragment of a neck of a jar, which shows a whole circle of Gandharvas performing on drums, harps, syrinxes, etc. Noteworthy is the existence of the syrinx on artware of Eastern Turkestan. That instrument has never, so far as I am aware, been observed in Indian art.

1901, A. F. Rudolf Hoernle [i.e., Augustus Frederic Rudolf Hoernlé], “A Report on the British Collection of Antiquities from Central Asia [Part II]”, in Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, volume LXX, part I (History, Literature, &c.), number 1 (extra), Calcutta: […] Baptist Mission Press [for the Asiatic Society of Bengal], →OCLC, section IV (Pottery, Terracottas, Miscellaneous Objects), page 49:

The Panpipe is indeed one of the most characteristic instruments of South America, especially of the Western regions. the ancient Peruvian civilizations produced syrinxes not only of reeds but also of terra cotta (those of the coastal civilizations, especially of Nazca, are sometimes real works of art) and even carved in stone, chiefly among the Araucans.

1961, Alain Gheerbrant, “Book 2”, in [Inca] Garcilaso de la Vega, translated by Maria Jolas, edited by Alain Gheerbrant, The Incas: The Royal Commentaries of the Inca […] (An Avon Library Book), New York, N.Y.: Avon Books, published 1966, →OCLC, footnote 26, page 87:

Actually, to cut a long story short, he began … well, playing with a rather different sort of pipe. Or syrinx, as we called it. He obviously thought he was alone. I was frankly quite shocked. Disgusted. It wasn't that I hadn't seen naked men before, at my aunt's in Cyprus.

[1982 August, John Fowles, Mantissa, 1st American edition, Boston, Mass.; Toronto, Ont.: Little, Brown and Company, →OCLC, page 75:

Inside, somebody was playing a duet on syrinx and lyre. Lew thought he knew the tune, but then it went off in some direction he couldn't follow.

2006, Thomas Pynchon, “Iceland Spar”, in Against the Day, New York, N.Y.: Penguin Press, →ISBN, page 220:


tus

From German Tusch, possibly from tuschen. First attested in 1784.

És mikor vége lett a jókivánságnak, / A muzsikusok rá hangos tust huzának, / A sok összeveszett hang forgott a légben, / Mint a por a forgószélnek örvényében.

1848, Sándor Petőfi, Lehel vezér, canto 1, stanza 46, lines 5-8:

A háttérbe állított egyiptomi zenekar vezetőjének nyirettyűje a levegőbe volt emelve, hogy amint a tósztnak vége szakad, friss lelkesüléssel rándítsa rá a pohárzaj-elnémító tust, […]

1869, Mór Jókai, A kőszívű ember fiai, part 1, chapter 1:

De még fényesebb volt a pékek parádéja […] Császári lovasság kísérte őket elöl-hátul, közben céhzászlókat emelve, s a hírhedett pékbillikomot ürítgetve, járultak a daliás péklegények nagy muzsikaszóval, s minden pékbolt előtt riadó tust húzattak, égre emelt kardokkal esküdve, hogy míg a nap az égen jár, nem lesz a világon párja a bécsi császárzsemlyének és perecnek!

1892, Mór Jókai, chapter 15, in Rákóczy fia:


kora

He is performing here with his Symmetric Orchestra, an ensemble of West African musicians who play both traditional instruments (kora, balafon, bolombatto, djembe) and slightly more contemporary ones (guitars, keyboards).

2009 April 17, The New York Times, “Pop Listings”, in New York Times:

(music) A type of harp played in West Africa.

tanda

→ Basque: txanda

→ English: tanda

Cognate to Catalan tanda and Galician tanda, of unknown origin.

Normally suggested to be from an instance noun Arabic ضَمْدَة (ḍamda, “bandage”) from the root ض م د (ḍ-m-d) being metaphorically used, however, apart from this semantic development being dubious, not only the consonants do not match but this Arabic noun is of utmost rarity.
