Sutton Hoo and Taplow Lyres

This is the Lyre for me than started my interest, growing up living in London  with many visits to the British Museum.
Made of scottish Sycamore in this example, with gold plated bronze mounts, and hand made soundboard tacks, boxwood pegs and bridge.
The strings are natural Gut (I can also fit Aquilla Nylgut strings)
To order one of these the price is £750,  please contact me for more details.
