Making and playing your own Lyre
Offerring plenty of information for people who want to make, play or just want to know more about these instruments- The Lyre Making CD is now available for purchase from my Lyre pages. The price is £15 including shipping/P&P costs.
Like the Kantele making CD it starts automatically in Windows, yet this time includes 7 different plans, a 24 minute video introduction, full web browser based e-book with a guide to making tuning and playing the Lyre plus more things to discover.
You don't need internet access for the CD to work, but at least a Pentium 2 for the video to play. You can always contact me if you have any concerns.
I now include video playback software on the CD for windows/mac users to help those without the correct video codecs.
If you are interested in just the 24 minute video that runs through the construction process and shows some joint cutting, tuning and how to play the Lyre then there is also a Video preview edition that can be downloaded instantly here.
Do check out the 3 minute free sample from the same site!
Yahoo Forum for Lyres
