@lurklingX2 жыл бұрын
another awesome video with no extra filler and chattiness. much appreciated! i think this one helped me determine that a lyre with a lot of strings would probably be most useful to me due to the types of music i'd probably lean towards playing. (celtic/folk and classical). so it seems i'll be in for a 21 string maybe. NOW i have to figure out which lyres let you play with both hands...... the next mystery to unravel.
@SamanthaonMars2 жыл бұрын
Thanks again for the appreciation! ❤️❤️❤️ I like videos to be to the point and that's how I make them. In my videos I usually play with one hand because I was holding down the lyre with the other. You can use both hands if you sit the lyre upright on your lap. Works on the little 7-string up to 21-string and more. :)

@SamanthaonMars2 жыл бұрын
This is a "pentatonic" lyre which has a limited 5-note scale. Unless you want to play pentatonic music specifically (e.g. a lot of traditional music from different cultures are pentatonic), this may not be the lyre for you. To play more songs, look for a "diatonic" lyre. Diatonic is "do re mi fa so la ti", or a scale made of just the white keys of a piano. The 16-string lyres I use on this channel are diatonic. There are 7-string diatonic lyres. You're correct in saying the number of strings limit what you can play. Some people have found workarounds by playing the same notes despite the octave. And then there are "chromatic" lyres, which has both white & black keys of a piano. They have the best range to play lots of songs. These lyres tend to have 30+ strings, are bigger, and are more expensive. I have not delved into these so I can't comment on them.

But if you want a lyre to play chords, then a 7-string diatonic is suited for the job. I haven't used any 7-string diatonic so I can't recommend any brands. You can take a look on Amazon or other marketplaces. Be sure to look at the reviews. If you can find unboxing or review videos on KZbin, that's even better. Hope you can find the perfect lyre!
