Shalom,
Try the following:
Joachim Braun, Die Musikkultur Altisraels/Palästinas: Studien zu
archäologischen, schriftlichen und vergleichenden Quellen (OBO, 164)
Freiburg 1999. XII-372 pp., 288 illsutrations. ISBN 3-7278-1246-X.
(An abstract can be found at http://www.unifr.ch/bif/obo/obonew.html).
Further, see also:
I.H. Jones, "Music and Musical Instruments", ABD, vol. 4, pp. 934-939 (with
additional bibliography).
Finally, a few years ago there was another book, which appeared at Peter
Lang (publ.), Bern; but somehow I missed the author. The titel was also
something like: Music in ancient Israel.
I hope this helps.
Raymond
