Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?

Και τα αψυχα, οσα διδουσι φωνην, ειτε αυλος ειτε κιθαρα, εαν δεν δωσωσι διακεκριμενους τους φθογγους, πως θελει γνωρισθη το αυλουμενον η το κιθαριζομενον;

And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
