LYRE AND HARP
ANGLO-SAXON LYRE
Reproduction of the 6-string lyre found in the excavation of the tomb of an Alamanni nobleman who died around the year 580, in the current city of Trossingen (Germany).
The instrument can be built as a body made out from single piece of wood, to which the harmonic top is glued, or as an empty frame to which the top and back are glued. Likewise, I offer variations of the instrument with 7 strings.
SL: 580 mm.
Proposed tunings: traditional (c/B/A)-d-e-f#-g-a-b / diatonic (d)-e-f-g-a-b-c'.
Price professional: €1,850
Price student: €700

LIRA DE ARCO
Instrument of the lyre family, but with bowed strings. It is traditionally known in Sweden as tagelharpa (horsetail harp) since its strings are usually made from animal hair, just as it is used in bows. Other names are stråkharpa (bow harp) or jouhikko, this one in Suomi.
I have designed this lyre based on preserved originals. The body is partially monoxyle, cutting out a frame to which I glue the top and back.
It is set up with three strings of handmade lamb gut and finished with oil and wax.
SL: 400mm.
Proposed tuning: d-a-d'
Price: €600.
