Thank you! After watching this I can now not only play this lovely tune on my lyre, but also on my kalimba!

[@maggie5666]

Thanks to your tutorial, i was finally able to play my first song on the lyre. Thank you for posting these videos!

[@harpmusica5234]

Well done! I’m so pleased 🙂

[@gimmealargesalad]

Thank you so much for your tutorials! I just got this exact lyre and there is almost no music to practice with out there. It's very daunting to get an instrument with little support. Your music is so beautiful that it makes me tear up. I suffer from extreme anxiety but feel pure bliss when I hear your videos. Thank you so much for both the relaxation and the help to those of us who are learning.

[@harpmusica5234]

Hi! You are so welcome! it makes me very happy to know that my tutorials are helpful and that you enjoy my music. I’m especially happy to hear that you are finding the videos relaxing 🙂 I hope you will find your lyre a very soothing instrument to play and enjoy your learning journey 🙂

[@audreygrimm4759]

Thank you so much for this tutorial you have such a calm smoothing voice and great teaching method that allows one to easy apply what they have learned . I have been m a saxophone player for many many years but always wanted to commit to different instrument for years. I now have the time and have ordered my first Lyre and while waiting for it arrive I am self educating myself on how to play it. I am very excited to get started and only wish I have the discovered the beautiful sound of the Lyre and the art of playing it years ago. Anyway I am enjoying your videos very much!!

[@harpmusica5234]

Thank you for your kind comments and I’m so glad the tutorials are helping you 🙂 enjoy your lyre!

[@blues4575]

Nice. This is the difficulty level I've been searching for. A song with an easy accompainment. And you explain it very clearly. Thank you very much.

[@anhtrucnguyenle411]

Really amazing. Thank you. I search for this song play on lyre harp for a long time. ❤❤❤

[@Angel-yl1ck]

Thank you so much. Tutorials are very hard to find. At least that is my experience. I hope you do a lot more. I subscribed!

[@harpmusica5234]

You are very welcome. Thanks for the sub! 🙂

[@sradefarras]

I am very grateful to you. I have a similar lyre 19 strings. I love it but you’re the only one who takes the time to teach. On chromatic expensive lyres they play with a straight hand technique and don’t use their thumbs. Please can you help me understand what is best? Thank you

[@harpmusica5234]

Well it’s really about what works for you. There are lots of different techniques. I also play the harp so I use my harp techniques in my lyre playing and I find them comfortable. Have a look at my harp tutorials on this channel (I have two). Some lyre players find them helpful 🙂

[@marwanalqawas8194]

Thank you very much for this simple yet great tutorial. Now I played my first song on Lyre. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I am awaiting my lyre. I'm very excited. This is a lovely tutorial. I'll definitely give this tune a try once I have the instrument. Thank you so much for this helpful video~

Hi everyone - just to let you know my Facebook page is now called Diosa Music (not Harp Musica as I say in the tutorial) It should hopefully be easy to search for and find 🙂 Here is a link. facebook.com/Diosapavan/

This video inspired me to buy a 16 string lyre, having never played any kind of a harp before. So beautiful! Can you please make a video on how to tune a 16 string? I have no idea where to even start! Thank you for sharing your heavenly playing dear ❤

[@harpmusica5234]

Thank you and Yes 🙂 I can make a tutorial for tuning and for absolute beginners.

[@heatherdawn4875]

Chareth Cutestory you will love it! I’ve had mine a week and these videos have been SO helpful!

[@foamandfog3112]

Thank you! I have played my first song a lyre thanks to you!

Thank you! Will do my best 🙂

[@dawnhappyhand3541]

I loved it! I just bought a 16 string lyre and I tuned it, hope I made it correct though. I'll practice my fingers and this video will be my first melody to work on!

[@harpmusica5234]

Dawn HappyHand That’s lovely to hear! Happy playing 🙂

[@Atom_Stone]

Mine too, Dawn! Lyre came in today!🙂

[@sarahb9186]

Oh thank you so much for this! So much easier to learn it now :)

[@harpmusica5234]

Great to hear! I have popped a link to my new Facebook page in the description box if you’d like to follow 🙂

[@pinkfeminine9213]

Love this! Its hard finding anything for the lyre

[@caldoesstuff7290]

I tried this using the lower notes and I must say it sounds quite good. You can’t really do the droning. (I’m sure their is a way) But I haven’t managed to make the droning sound good yet in the low notes

[@harpmusica5234]

It’s great to try different ways of playing- that way you will find your personal style 😀

[@alcyonae]

THANK YOU. I hesitated purchasing this instrument before because there aren’t enough tutorials on KZbin. Now onto my first song on the wonderful lyre! How often do you tune it?

[@harpmusica5234]

Hi! I just check it before playing and I might fine tune the odd string if necessary, but I leave it at that, unless I have to change the tuning for a specific melody. Happy playing 🙂

[@Atom_Stone]

I just got mine and I have to repeatedly tune the chords. Seems they fall out of tune right after I torgue them down...🤷‍♂️

[@harpmusica5234]

That seems to happen for quite a few people. It takes a while for the strings to settle but then you shouldn’t need to tune very often except perhaps to fine tune the odd string 🙂

[@Atom_Stone]

Can I just apply any old nail polish to the strings, madam?😬 I'm scared to mess it up, but really need the navigation help.

[@harpmusica5234]

You can always use little stickers on the pegs if you don’t want to use nail polish 🙂 or maybe (although I haven’t tried it yet) a washable felt tip might work?

[@jessicashaw6211]

Hello, Love the tutorial! I am trying to learn this on my new 10 string lyre, I have never played an instrument so its all so new to me. My lyre is tuned in the notes: C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E ; the second phase does sound out tune compared to your lovely 16 string Lyre. Can this song be played using these tuning notes on a 10 string? Thank you so much in advance :)))

[@harpmusica5234]

Hi! I think you would be best playing the melody in C. so roughly off top of my head would be c,c,g,g,d,eFlat,d,c. a, bFlat,c,bFlat,g,a,f,g

[@harpmusica5234]

or actually much better in D so you can get the bottom C note - so it would d,d,a,a,e,f,e,d. a,c,d,c,a,b,g,a. That should work without needing to retune.

[@jessicashaw6211]

@@harpmusica5234 Thank you so much! Will give this a try :))

@@harpmusica5234 Ooo great Will try this, thanks again :))

[@jessicashaw6211]

@@harpmusica5234 Thank you, I was just wondering about the second two phases the last 18 cords? Do I just repeat d,d,a,a,e,f,e,d. a,c,d,c,a,b,g,a. ?

[@42sjamieson]

I would like to can you play on 24 string lyre harp I love learn this tune

[@harpmusica5234]

Hi 😀 I don’t have a 24 string lyre harp I’m afraid but I do have a small actual lap harp - it’s not quite the same playing technique though..

[@jimmyobrien4908]

Wait so is it tuned in A or A minor? If I need to change my A string to A minor does that mean I need to change my other strings?

[@harpmusica5234]

folk tunes are often written using modes rather than traditional major or minor scales. For this tune, the strings/notes will be A,B, C (natural), D, E, F (sharp), G (natural), A. I tend to keep my lyre tuned that way because of the music I play. hope that helps!

[@amparocarpenter6536]

How can I get your written music with this tutorial?

[@TheSachan95]

THANKSSS

[@alexmaroto1580]

I meed to know what is the tunning of your lyre

[@harpmusica5234]

Hi! My lyre is tuned in G 😀

[@dydycompote]

Hi, I have a question, i've bought this lyre harp for my birthday and i would like to know if the lyre harp sound good and if the lyre arrived on good way. (Sorry for my bad english i'm a only a 15 years old french guy, I hope you read and understand me thank you and bye)

[@harpmusica5234]

My harp arrived in good condition. I like the way it sounds and I’ve had no problems with it so far although sometimes getting the strings tuned perfectly takes me a little bit of time. Thank you for the question and Happy playing!

[@dydycompote]

@@harpmusica5234okay thank you 👍

[@Matobit]

I'm so confused what tuning did you do because I am not hitting those notes at all. My lyre is from G to G then G to A

[@harpmusica5234]

My lyre also has that tuning. Hard to say what’s happening without hearing you play, but the notes/strings for the tune are in the description box. Check that you have tuned your C natural rather than sharp maybe? Hope that helps 🙂
