- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The first in a new series of 'online lyre lessons', demonstrating how to begin to learn to play the beautiful 'Chelys' - the tortoise shell form of lyre of ancient Greece...
The Chelys lyre, was the tortoise shell form of lyre played in ancient Greece, which had a resonator either made from an actual tortoise shell, or from wood carved in the form of a tortoise shell.
The replica lyre I am playing, is the beautifully crafted "Lyre of Apollo III" model, handmade in Greece by Luthieros Ancient and Modern Music Instruments. The finished album (to be released in early 2015) is to be recorded as part of my collaboration with Luthieros, in their inspirational "Lyre 2 Project" - dedicated to reintroducing the beautiful lyre of antiquity as a divine artifact, back into our much aesthetically poorer, bland modern world:

A physical CD of the album will be included with each beautiful lyre handmade in Greece by Luthieros:

Can someone post a transcription of the lesson, please ?
Hello Mr Levy. I've received a 10 chords lyre for my birthday and would like to know how can I tune it in an "ancient" style. Can you help me? Thanks in advance!
Here is my blog on tuning in just intonation (the instructional videos can be found towards the end of the article):

Would these lessons work with a modern lyre?
Hello, Michael! I see that this is a fairly old video, so I'd be grateful if you responded. I am interested in learning to play the lyre, and I'm wondering which sort of lyre I should purchase, if I should go ahead and invest in one. I have some musical instrument experience, by the way. I have been looking at a certain lyre, but I was wondering if it'd be easier to start with the chelys. Here is the link for the one I am looking at: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B001NASBPM/ref=mw_dp_cr
Thank you!
You know what would have been great? If you had have played it.
Nathan Thomas - I have over 700 videos of me actually playing my lyres...this particular little series of videos, are, as the title clearly stated, basic instructional lyre tuition videos.
