OK, with the 'accurate' Trossingen strung and singing (I'll let Dee post the links when she is ready) attention is turning to two other projects on the books -...
Tonight there was a documentary on bbc4 that has some A S Lyre as well as some really great harp. You can watch it free online on iplayer go to bbc iplayer...
I live outside the UK too. :-( Never have understood the BBC's seemingly xenophobic safeguarding of their programs... ... well ... iplayer ... menu!!! ... ...
Unless I'm wrong, I think it works both ways, at least when it comes to watching movies on tape or DVD- different zones, and different codes. Nej? Lavrans...
There are definitely different standards for VHS, DVD and both analog and digtal tv, but I don't think that plays much part in online streaming; I've watched...
I was only eluding to DVD region zoning. I got a little annoyed when BBC started to do this with the Dr Who site last year. I have watched the Season 4...
Not when it comes to the BBC. The BBC has very strict licensing rights, as technically the BBC in America is a separate entity. You can't watch BBC shows...
Hopefully It wont be too long before the Documentary does the rounds, I have a short preview/sample of audio from the video of a relevant part available in...
Ah, Bill Taylor. Two summers ago, I went to the Amherst Early Music Festival which was in Bennington VT as a member of the Historical Harp Society. Part of ...
Found it Torpark... free and it works, although it is very slow for me being at the a*se end of the world ;-) Regards Charles from Oz P.S. The new Sontaran...
Less than hour ago, I got a new Anglo-Saxon Lyre from Danae Spencer of Orphic Airs. He did a beautiful job & his price was quite reasonable. Now to learn to...
This is really turning into too much fun. I decided to take this instrument all the way, and with the exception of hte overall depth of the instrument, which...
Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that my Trossingen (and the website that goes along with it) is finished. Chris is hosting it for me, at: ...

Dee, Thats very impressive, well done! The incident with the animal glue is a good example of a situation where normal wood glue would have led to the...
... Actually, most of the echo that you're hearing in the sound sample actually is produced by the instrument itself. A little of the echo is produced by the ...
I really want everyone to know how much work went into Dee's trossingen, from all the research to the handwork it is a far more impressive project than my...
Just a quick question on some details on tuning. I know that a lot of instruments in period were tuned to something closer to just intonation than modern...
Anglo Saxon LyresHello, I have thought about it much in the past. The lyres I built all had excellent fine tunning and the diatonic sounds the best overall to...
We're opening that can of worms? Seriously, it's a very valid and, to me, fascinating question. Certainly a just temperament is a good candidate, but what do...
I guess I must be something of a lunkhead. I use the pentatonic tuning for the lyre, which is basically an a minor scale. I mess around until it seems to sound...
This is my intuition on the subject of pitch. A dark age lyre is a personal instrument, and the owner would most probably match the pitch to his voice. ...
i recently got a link to a maker of anglo saxon lyres. these had 1 to 2 or more sound holes with some clean minimal decoration around the sound holes & were...
... hmm, sounds like mine. Aleyn's Instruments?? If so there are no links to purchase as it is really just a preview as to what will be available at Society...
