Plutarch, Aussprüche von Spartanern (Moralia 220 C):
Ecrepes, an Ephor, cut out with an adze two of the nine strings of Phrynis the musician, saying, “Do not murder music. [μὴ κακούργει τὴν μουσικήν.]”

[Plutarch: Moralia III. Ed. by Frank Cole Babbitt. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 72004, pp. 318 sq.]

Vgl. Plutarch, Moralia 238 C-D (Alte Sitten der Spartaner 17):
If anyone presumed to transgress in any way the rules of the good old music, they would not permit this; but even Terpander, one of the oldest and the best harp-player of his time as well as a devoted admirer of the deeds of the heroes, the Ephors none the less fined, and carried away his instrument and nailed it to the wall because he put in just one extra string for the sake of the variety in the notes; for they approved only the simpler melodies. Moreover, when Timotheus was competing at the Carneian Festival, one of the Ephors took a knife, and asked him on which side he should cut out the superfluous strings beyond the usual seven.

[Plutarch: Moralia III. Ed. by Frank Cole Babbitt. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 72004, pp. 436 sq.]

Vgl. Athenaios von Naukratis 636 E:
Artemon in Book I of On the Dionysiac Guild claims that Timotheus of Miletus is widely believed to have played a magadis [μάγαδις] equipped with an exceptionally large number of strings. This is why, when he was being called to account in Sparta for allegedly corrupting the ancient musical style, and someone was about to cut off his excess strings, he pointed out that they had a small statue of Apollo holding a lyre with the same number of strings as his own was strung with, and was acquitted.

[Athenaeus: The Learned Banqueters, vol VI. Ed. by S. Douglas Olson. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 2011, pp. 222 sq.]

Traditionsstarre in der Musik ... Wäre sie in Europa ähnlich streng gewesen im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert, hätte Bach mit seinem "wohltemperierten Klavier" keine Chance gehabt, es wäre ihm mit der adze (Queraxt, Dechsel) zerschlagen worden ... :-( Ganz zu schweigen vom Saxophon, als es sich ins Orchester drängte!
