Very nice! I noticed you did not add a sound hole. Can I ask what your reasoning was for that decision?

Da para usar esse método para harpa??? Ou coloca mais cordas

Lovely. The plaited hemp looks great for holding the sound board btw. Thanks for making the video 👍

This is so cool, i cant wait to get my hands on some tools n make one

so faltou corta a arvore e fabricar a tico tico

Marvellous and easy explanation, thanks!!

which tuning?

Hi, nice job ! I would to know why did you do same plywood for the front and the back, and not a shorter for the back ?

Actually, plywood is a pretty shitty material for an instrument, specially for soundboards. Next time go for spruce with straight, dense, perpendicular woodgrains without any knots or where the grains turning. It's highly unlikely that you will find a good quality spurce it's easier to make from smaller slices. But yeah, you have to learn how to join two pieces and how to plane them. But there are a thousand tutorial about handplaning, sharpening and you don't need expensive planer for quality work. Also I talked with a professional luthier/recorder maker about finishings. He said (linseed) oil is good windwood instruments but not as good stringed instruments. Try shellac or if you find it too complicated try some synthetic stuff. But avoid oil based stuffs. Ps.: I made a few hungarian zithers, and currently making a few new one. But I'm not a professional, it is just a hobby for me.

Grinding machine? That is called a random orbit sander.

Nice, did you ever make anymore?

I bet back tracking for the camera got annoying.Nice hike, Is it in Germany?

How long did this take you

what strings did you use?

Get yourself a cheap router to do the edges. Will save you a lot of time and probably be neater.

Hi Woodland Wanderer. I want to make my own lyre, based on the 7-string Angle Saxon lyre. (28 inch) Will you tell me please what sort of nylon strings you use (the ones you can buy in the music shop or something else) and what sort of tuning pins. I found alot of tuning pins at Amazon, but I don't know which are the best.

Nice work!

Die Stimmung scheint mir aber G Ab H C D E zu sein, nicht mit A

Sehr schönes Projekt - wo ist das Video zur historisch akkuraten Lyre? ;-) Los los

Eu quero!!! Vou fazer uma igual!

6:19 кто-ж гвозди-то забивает при изготовлении резонатора?????)))) чудик....)

Should have added a sound hole, so the sound could get out of the resonator box.

The outcome is not bad and also the sound is good, keeping in ind that this is the first version and that it has been build with a small toolset. I just wondering if there are any size or dimensions pattern for volume and the length of the strings.

Thank you so much for this video

Great work! I’m planning on starting a similar project but I don’t have much experience. If you could give me the dimensions of your lyre, that would be a great help. :)

Where did you get the strings? I can't find them.

How do you know the measurements of the bridge? i'm making the the bridge, sound hole etc, but im not sure of the measurements :( im on the last steps but quite stuck

if I ever had the opportunity, I would definitely make a lyre, this actually did not look too hard to make.

A for effort.i made my self a few diy instruments so i can suggest that you never use screwes or nails like you did.it really dampens the sound.glue is enough.keep up the nice videos and thanks again for sharing.

Nice you should do one. entire build without power tools and such.. Your connection at that point to Your lyre would be unmistakable .its a learning process. Just an outside idea

Thank you for uploading your proces. I loved it. Where could I find the same template that you used?

someone who loves the woods as much as I do :)

When it comes to strings what nylon strings did you get

I think it will sound better when there are some holes in the top piece of wood! The sound can't come out rn

What was the name of the instrument at 7:04?

Großartig!

Thanks man, in going to make one of these!

Can I use screws for pins? Because I couldnt find that pins anywhere.

Hi friend, good idea there. If you use good wood material for the back and the top your sound will increase in quality a lot. You can use walnut or cherry for the back and hi quality spruce for the top. Making a hole on the top will make the strings resonate the body of the instrument, and if the wood used is of good quality (tonewood) you will have a better instrument. You might want to use gut strings for warmer sound. Greetings from Greece!

hi i want to make my own what strings did u use and where i can get them?

Tanks for sharing your work! gretings!

How do you secure the bridge to the instrument?

A great lyra. A few years ago i did it like you. I wanted to play a mountain dulcimer, so i built it. Please look at "Dulcimer Zwei". Now it is time for a Lyra....

Very cool project, but do lyres have a sound hole? I noticed this lyre didn't have a sound hole.

try this cover on your lyre

now make a harp!

Very cool. Those lyres, they sure figured out a lot of ways to play those deceptively simple instruments didn't they.

I need to make a harp for a physics project and be able to play a song on it. How would you create it? Please inbox me thanoshkrish@gmail.com

hey does somone know what the name of the metal keys?

Sounds very german
