The nevel was an instrument in use by the ancient Hebrew people. The Greeks referred to it as the nablia. Much conjecture has been put forth on its exact nature, but it was probably not a standardized instrument. Most hold it to be a form of lyre, harp, or psaltery. The King James Version renders the word into English as psaltery or viol, and the Book of Common Prayer renders it viol.
