Hello all This is a very cool picture of lyre players indeed, but I am concerned about the conclusions we are drawing here. My main issue is that anyone who...

Cedar should work OK as a sound board; given that it is kind of soft, I would consider some bracing across the underside, especially under the bridge. Larry M...
Hi Greg, Welcome to the Lyre group. Larry is correct - he's made a few lyres. My Sutton Hoo lyre (see pictures in folder) has spruce with out braces and only...

Hi Greg, I would save the cedar for another time. Find yourself a bit of 1.5 to 3.0 mm plywood, and use that for your prototype instrument soundboard. Some...
... Hi Greg, ... You can read the (very bad Babelfish)translation of the report on the Trossingen lyre in our messages section. The part that describes the...

Hi Hugh, The medieval harps of Scotland and Ireland were strung with brass. I would avoid the word "bard", because it is loaded with modern layers of romantic...
