Lyre Harp 7 String Pentatonic

What is a lyre harp?

The lyre is a string instrument known in classical Greek antiquity and later periods. The lyre is similar to a small harp but with distinct differences. The fundamental difference between a lyre and a harp is that in a harp, the strings enter directly into the hollow body of the instrument, whereas, on a lyre, the strings pass over a bridge, which transmits the vibrations of the strings to the body of the instrument – just as on a modern guitar.

In addition, most traditional harps use nylon strings, whereas lyre usually uses steel strings. The lyre still has an ethereal and long-lasting tone in terms of timbre, but it sounds more ancient with a deeper Medieval tone. The sound of steel strings adds a mysterious and unique beauty to this instrument.

The harmonic vibrations created by the instrument can help alleviate stress, reduce anxiety, and promote well-being. The melodic sounds of the Lyre harp can also facilitate a meditative state, allowing individuals to enter a deep state of relaxation and mindfulness.
