What is a Lyre Harp?
The lyre harp is an ancient string instrument with origins tracing back to civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece. Shaped like a small U or Y, the lyre has a frame that supports a set of strings stretched between a crossbar and a hollow resonating body, which amplifies the sound. Players produce tones by plucking the strings with fingers or a plectrum (like a normal harp), allowing them to create simple melodies or layered harmonies. Over centuries, the lyre evolved, influencing the development of other stringed instruments like the harp and lute. Today, the lyre harp remains popular in folk traditions, historical recreations, and even some modern music, admired for its gentle and resonant sound.
