土耳其新月
土耳其新月(英語:Turkish crescent),又稱鈴鐺樹(德語:Schellenbaum)、中國帽(法語:Chapeau chinois)或中國涼亭(法語:pavillon chinois)、小鈴笠、土耳其月牙鈴,是使用於軍樂隊的一種打擊樂器。有一個飾以傘蓋的杆及月牙形和其他樣式的頂部,其上掛滿小鈴和叮噹響的金屬片,常用馬尾蓋在頂上。它可能源於中亞細亞巫師的權杖,在某些情況下,它也可以作為戰爭的獎勵品或榮譽象徵。

...a special part is written for Turkish Crescent, an arrangement of bells supported on a mace which was carried processionally, to accompany Very Important Persons. The mace had to be twirled by a highly skilled, as well as dignified, performer. Sousa saw a possible connection between this Oriental tradition and the drum-major's twirled baton. Characteristically, the Americans democratized the ritual instrument; they christened it "Jingling Johnnie"!
