And your etymology fits what Google tells me...

http://www.hesterstreettroupe.com/klesmer.html

Klezmer Music is a style of music that is inherently Jewish in nature.
The word Klezmer comes from two Hebrew words, clay and zimmer, meaning
vessel of music or song. The idea is that the instrument ie. the
violin, clarinet, takes on human characteristics like laughing and
crying. With a joyous exuberance or a soulful wailing.

All this talk about "German Sound"......

Can Dan L. contend there is no "Klezmer" sound?

Well its interesting:
Klee is a musical instrument but its not a technical term as in other
languages.
K L I is inisials for : Kohen , Levi, Israel - to say that unlike
sacred work , that was allowed only to Kohen and Levi,
the music is for all people.
Zemer - is a song , but the letters Z M R - has many meanings : ZRM is
a stream , MRZ is some thing that has a healing power.
So Kli Zemer is an instrument to sing with - and the instrument is the
body of the person who "sings".
Its really a very nice word.
