Good day ma'am. I have a Molin 24 string hollow lyre harp but it's intended for left-handed players. Just curious, is your Molin the same or is it for right-handed players? I'm considering buying a 19 string Walter T so that I can play with my dominant hand. I can play my Molin just fine, it's just that, sometimes I cannot hit the strings precisely and I want to be able to play smoothly.

What kind should I get if I am left handed😭 please help.. Which side should have the short strings? I have been researching but I don't really understand musical lingo so it is hard to make out. Can you help me please?

I need some help on how to actually lossen and tighten the strings? Yes I did turn it clockwise and counterclockwise but it ifk if the strings are supposed to move but they didn't and when I tried tuning it it did sound the same and the tuning key was very loose on where you have to tune it.

This is a good lyre/harp. I purchased one of these but it seemed to me that the balance of tension was not really that good so I changed the string note range a little from C4 down to G3, and used a thicker string for A and a wounded one for G, it worked really well.

You are probably right. I was never able to get this to stay in tune after this project and ended up restringing this lyre back with wire strings after a few months. I would recommend buying a lyre that already comes with Nylon strings if that is the preference. There are a few options out there. ❤

I can't play it putting it to my left side. 😢 I play it the same way as this youtuber (and same lyre design): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpTFkJSBe5uBipYfeature=shared
@learningthelyreharpАй бұрын
There is no standard for lyres like other instruments because of the many different types of lyres and methods of playing l. This means there is no right or wrong way to hold it. The main thing is that it is most comfortable for you and you are able to secure your instrument and play freely. Ensure you keep a good posture as well so you are not too tensed and strain your body.

Lyres like the harp can be played with both hands. You can assign the melody to be played by either hand and ensure that most of the strings are accessible with your dominant hand. I will try to do a video to demonstrate this in the coming weeks.

Hello, I'm looking to buy a lyre harp with more strings, I play a 16-string lyre harp, the two lyre harps in your video have a beautiful sound, but I saw that the molin has several problems, can you tell me if the lyre harp Cega also have these same problems? How are they after years?
@learningthelyreharpАй бұрын
@@Anastasia_Lune My Cega and Aklot lyres are still good to this day day. Keep in mind that most of the 19 and more strings are strung the opposite way to the 16 string lyres so this will take some getting used to. They are string the same way as a harp with the high notes at the top/close to the body.
