@Longhouse Lyres - what is the 6-string lyre in this video based on? I recognize the body design of the 7-string you show, but the 6-string body design is one I have not encountered before. It is very interesting to me and if it is based off an historical example, I'd love to know where to learn more.
I have a 16 string lyre, what octave should I tune the notes? Should they be all flat? At the moment I tuned my first G note to G2 and the A2 so forth. Is this correct tuning for 16 string lyre?
I am right handed and my lyer is tuned with the heavy sting on the right. After much searching and close looking, I have found many Trossengen lyres tuned this way. What's good or bad about this?
Experts say lyres strung forward and backward were 50 /50. I play the piano and guitar so lower notes played with the thumb comes natural and easy for me. There is a subscriber here who is a very good player who has his low notes on the right and seems to be very good with his ring finger, which I never use. I guess its personal preference regarding the feel.
@@longhouselyres I am not being critical. I just got this thing today in the mail and have just finished tuning it with the bass string to the right, so that's how I'm going to learn. And, pouring over dozens of lyre videos on youtube, it's inconclusive at best. As you say, 50/50. LOL Thanks for the quick reply. :o)
@@longhouselyres After getting out one of my Baritone Ukuleles, I noticed the bass string was at the top, held like a Lyre, it would have been bass on the left. So I changed it around. Duhhh. It does feel different.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos,
Hello, thank you for this video. Can you remind me of the names of the notes in the tuning please.

The nice folks on the Facebook group "The Lyre" could tell you more about 16 string lyres.
