@@meisterfrown7239 it is a constant problem if you are interested in Germanic Lyre or Old English or Runes or Germanic Paganism or Anglo-Saxon History or re-enactment or practical archeology. There are always right wing idiots around. Most of us are excellent people but these subjects always attract a few hateful people. I will never give in to them. If I can do anything to disappoint them I will.

Actually I did realise that, which is why last time I uploaded this tune I made sure to include my utter rejection of right wing ideas. I didn't write the tune or name it. But you are right. I've renamed it to make things clearer. No pasaran, nunca.

@@oldenglishandlyre thank you so much for the clarification. Re-followed.

@@OtaakBand anachronistic bungee cord ! But it's solid.

Where do you live, perhaps you can organise one.

@@oldenglishandlyre I'm from France but I live in Germany since approximately 3 years. I discovered last year an historical association. I think they do it once a year. I will try to know more. Greetings and keep the good work !

My left and right hands have developed different styles of playing. I try to make sure I can play all my tunes , left hand, right hand , block and strum, on my Double Lyre with chords and like this with pipe ans lyre.

One handed playing is very useful because you can drink tea at the same time.

@@oldenglishandlyre 🤣🤣🤣

I don't call it an "Anglo-Saxon Lyre" as it has seven strings, and we haven't yet found a 7 stringer from the AS period. Also the term is getting abused by people selling crap many-stringed lyre mass produced in China. Any fantasy lyre-like instrument gets called Viking or Anglo-Saxon these days. So, I stick to a more generic " round lyre" although my base isn't all that round.

@@oldenglishandlyre I understand. I agree that good lyres are not mass produced as of now, unlike, for example, guitars. I feel fortunate to have a hand made 6 string instrument. Even though it is more limited than a 7 string, it is at least well made. I call it "germanic" or "saxon" or "northern European" to distinguish it from the Mediterranean lyres. But I suppose the only reason we call them "northern" or "saxon" or "germanic" is that is where the archeological finds are located. Lyres were obviously widespread in Eurasia, and the "round" design could have been all over.. I have never cared for the outdated term "anglo-saxon" and I certainly would not call it "viking". Thank you for your explanation. I think I will start calling it a round lyre by your example, even though mine is much closer to a rectangle than an oval.

You know what they say ! " If I stick a brrom up my arse I can sweep the floor at the same time"

Great ! I like the extra translation. I don't know psalm tone 2. Can you show me ? I'd love to hear it sung.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I feel like that when I study Dutch, clearly closely related

Thank you John

Thank you

Not really, it does show on the lyre but it doesn't stop it working in any way.

Thank you. It needs more practice but I'm getting it

It's my obsession. Playing with the toes next, like a Viking in a snake pit!

Thank you fir your kind comment. I love learning these tunes

Thanks

Thank you

I have a great teacher.

It one of my favourite Lyre traditions, I'm fascinated by Krar and Sangvultap traditions too, But there's not enough time in life to learn everything.

thanks

thank you it was fun

thank you !

thank you !

thank you !

thank you !

first to see my struggle

Thank you. Now must build a Tambour a Cordes too.

@@oldenglishandlyre If you could play pipe, lyre, and tambour all at the same time, you would very much be a one man band.

@@z.l.burington1183 the thought had crossed my mind. The neatest I get is ankle-bells a percussion

Sure, but it's in my own notation, basically how many fingers on each pipe

Branle de Borgogne A Section 11 21 31 34 b1 11 21 31 31 21 11 21 31 31 21 11 31 21 11 31 21 11 21 31 11 21 31 34 b1 11 21 31 31 42 31 B Section 34 33 34 b1 11 21 31 31 21 11 21 31 31 21 11 31 21 11 31 21 11 21 31 34 33 34 b1 11 21 31 31 42 31 Play AABB "b" means flatten the note on the left pipe, with open, closed, closed, open fingering Make sure you video it and send me a link!

Yes, I am learning at the minute, very different to my Anglo Saxon technique

Thank you!

They are Lark brand, the cheapest in C that I could find. I covered two holes on one pipe with insulting tape in the colours of Peru 🇵🇪 !

@@oldenglishandlyre They have a nice tone. I wondered about the tape. Thanks for the reply. Appreciated 😊

@@fatheroblivion45 they are not ideal as Dulzainas really. You have to be so precise with air volume to get the right octave. It's often a struggle. As Dulzainas I might be playing the same fingerings but wanting left pipe above right, or left pipe below right, so it's very unforgiving in air pressure. I want two decent pinkullos instead really.

video please !

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you!

Thanks
