came up in my fb memories, something I found on Jochre Yiddish OCR search in 2020 when looking for mentions of tsimbls (cimbaloms), the the boasting of a cantor from a satirical short story:

"My neck — a fiddle
my throat — a tsimbl
and I myself am a whole orchestra
When I pray, people fall like flies"
