Es interesante un fresco de la tumba de la V Dinastía en Saqqara: un grupo formado por dos arpistas, dos “flautistas”, dos “clarinetistas” y seis quirónomos en el que se puede observar que uno de los arpistas pellizca una cuerda con la mano izquierda, mientras que la derecha aparece con los dedos extendidos. En ese caso, nos podríamos preguntar si en realidad aquel podría estar tocando dos notas diferentes al mismo tiempo.
