I never imagined it was possible to play all that on 16 strings. The Moonlight sonata is one of my favourite pieces. It is just beautiful and breathes love. Your version on the lyre was beautiful. Thank you.

[@SamanthaonMars]

Thank you for the compliment! :)

[@ronadomingo1156]

Hiiii! A friend gifted me a lyre and i've been wanting to learn but there isnt much tutorials in youtube. Thank you for posting tutorials! You're a life saver!

[@SamanthaonMars]

Hi! Happy to help! Have fun with your lyre.

[@jayroi1814]

just pluck the fucking strings, whats to learn? there are only 16 of them jesus god damn christ how do you think people ever learned anything before youtube?

[@RavynUnderscoreArtYT]

I've seen multiple people in the comment secotion on this channel ask "can you play this song on a seven string lyre?" The answer is yes. (I will be posting this comment on every video so everyone can see it). I had the same problem so I tuned my lyre to be E F G A B C D so I'd be able to play *almost* any song on this channel. The only problem in tuning the lyre this way is that you can't play 2 of the same notes on the lyre on higher cords Example: (G G') When that happens just play the singular G note if it looks like this: G G' -Just play the G note twice It works but you may have to occasionally tune the cords for certain songs that are higher or lower pitched of your song. This way works (for most songs)and I know because I learned a few songs already!

This is the second song i learn on the lyre, honestly i never thought it was possible to play the moonlight sonata on a lyre. Im learing this song because i love it and also because my crush asked me if i know how to play it on the lyre( i said yes but i just got into learning how to play it ╥﹏╥ )

[@SamanthaonMars]

Well done! You're learning quickly!

I love the song moonlight sonata, it's one of my top favorite piano songs. It sounds so beautiful on the lyre, I bet it would sound amazing in a piano duet too. It sounds very sweet yet solemn. Keep up the good work!

[@SamanthaonMars]

I think Moonlight Sonata is one of those classics that fit well with a great variety of genres. I remember listening to a heavy metal version once and it was amazing. Thank you for the kind words. I'll keep it up! 🥰

This is among my favorite classical pieces. It's good to be taught this one. I know how to play the first part on the Piano and that's it. I keep just playing it. 😁 It sounds really nice with this instrument. Thank you and I hope your summer break has been a great one, and that you were able to escape Mars for a while. 🙂😁 👍 👍🌌 🚀 🌏 🎶

[@SamanthaonMars]

Hello friend! I'm happy to know you love this piece! My summer break has been great, and the little escape has been rejuvenating. I'll be back later today with a new video. Stay tuned. :)

[@MagdalenaTheremin]

Beautiful!!!!! :)))) I will try it right away on my lyre (I have similar than you have- also diatonic) this is such s sweet sweet and relaxing instrument! You playing as sweet as moonlight sonate is! Great!!🎉

[@SamanthaonMars]

Thank you, Magdalena. I just watched a few of your videos. The Theremin is such an interesting instrument! It has this ethereal sound that speaks to the soul. It must be a tough instrument to play because there are no physical markings like frets, keys, or strings. You have great control!

[@allonewurld]

Hi, loving the videos. Could you breifly explain the difference between the lyres you link to please?

[@SamanthaonMars]

Hi Pete. Great question! The 16-string lyres are suitable for a wide range of music, while the 7-string pentatonic is more limited and specific to Germanic music. In fact, I only use the 7-string for meditation. I linked to three 16-string lyres which differ in sound and playability. I have a separate video showing all their differences that will help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TdZYJ4iamHerM

[@npu]

Thanks for your videos! So to play sharp notes, you need to pinch 2 chords, right? is there some rules as to know which one to pinch?

[@SamanthaonMars]

Hi. This song doesn't require sharp notes. For other songs, in general, to play sharp notes (or flat notes), you usually need to tune the string to the corresponding note. Pinching two strings together hasn't worked well for me. It's always a good idea to check the specific tuning requirements for the song you want to play. Usually, I have that written down in my video descriptions.

[@npu]

@@SamanthaonMars thanks :)

[@hailey7723]

Could you do 'colors of the wind' from Pocahontas?

[@SamanthaonMars]

Hi Haily. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. :)

[@aureasmortem]

That (E'-E) part is kicking my butt

[@SamanthaonMars]

You can try playing with two hands.

[@aureasmortem]

@@SamanthaonMars Ah, yes I am learning to do the two hand method but since this is my first song I'm learning it knocks my timing off since I have to check the strings every time 😅 practice practice

[@LeticiaSilva-rn5bu]

Is it possible to buy the instrument and learn to play by yourself? I can't afford an instructor.

[@SamanthaonMars]

I think so. That's exactly what I did. :)

[@KukrejaAnamika]

Hey, could you recommend an app to tune my lyre? I tuned it by the alphabets on the strings but they sound nothing like yours do. I don't know why.

[@SamanthaonMars]

Sure. Chroma is available on both Android and iOS. I've also used insTuner and PanoTuner.

[@KukrejaAnamika]

@@SamanthaonMars Just to be sure, the strings cover 5,4 and 3 right? (A5 going to A3?)

[@SamanthaonMars]

​@@KukrejaAnamika From low to high (left to right on my lyre, but some lyres go the other way): G3 A3 B3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 B4 C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 A5 I write them in my video as: G, A, B, C D E F G A B C' D' E' F' G' A'

Very cool, but this isn't being played on Mars.

[@kimmaree5414]

Learning to play the lyre is like "music by numbers", but the thing that got me interested in the first place is the many references made to the lyre in the Psalms, such as, "Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn!" Psalm 108:2 I absolutely love this piece by Beethoven, your beautiful minimalistic videos and lovely voice. If you would consider it, I would love to see an an arrangement and video for an evensong type piece, such as this one, "Come, Risen Lord, and Deign to Be Our Guest," by George Wallace Briggs, tune "Song 4," by Orlando Gibbons: kzbin.info/www/bejne/embadnubpNJjiac

Hi Kim. 😊 Sorry for the late reply. There were some comments I missed and I'm only getting to them now. 😅 Thank you for the comment & song suggestion! I'm afraid I don't like the song enough to figure out how to play it & make a video cover. Sorry about that.
