timbre (proper spelling) It refers to tonal distinction. The color or quality of tone from its source or instrument, distinguishing that source from another. Flutes and mandolins are comparable in range but have different 'timbres' Hope that's helpful.

I think you mean 'Timbre'. It is a word used to describe the quality of sound produced by the instrument. Usually, one would use the words 'bright' and 'dark' or 'mellow' and 'hard' to describe timbre. Neither of these qualities are inherently good or bad sounding, it is really dependent on the music if it fits or not.
