PANDU'RA (πανδούρα). A musical instrument, the precise character of which is not known. According to Pollux (iv. 60.) it was a stringed instrument with three chords; and the guitar is still called by the same term, "la pandura," in Tuscany; but Hesychius (s. σύριγγες) makes it the same as the pan-pipes. To play upon it was expressed by the word pandurizo. Lamprid. Elag. 32.
