I want to play lyre. I want to learn it. It's so beautiful. I love the way she describes the details.

I am interested in getting a lyre like yours. The only question is lyres similar to yours has long strings. Are they easy to buy or what type of strings do you use?

[@SEIKILO]

Thanks for watching, Jose! These lyres are masterfully handcrafted in Greece by the amazing LUTHIEROS team. You can also find extra strings specially designed for the lyre at their website, www.luthieros.com! There are two types of strings that are great for the ancient lyre: a. gut strings, if you want to be historically accurate, and b. sugarcane strings. Both are of premium quality, resulting in great sound. The sugarcane strings are more durable. Here are their links: - Sugarcane strings: luthieros.com/product/sugar-strings-set/ - Gut strings: luthieros.com/product/strings-for-ancient-and-early-musical-instruments/ Changing the strings, retuning, etc., is also quite simple.
