7 String Lyres
My "Viking" Lyre model (Hedeby Lyre) is available as a 6-string model or as a 7-string Hybrid with the Scale length and tuning of the Kravik lyre with the simplicity of the older lyre design to create a versatile and warm sounding 7 String lyre. Uses my Kravik Lyre string set. Available with a maple body, and a choice of soundboards.
Kanteles
11 String Kanteles are one of my favourite Kantele models. This is a fabulous, great-sounding Kantele made with a Cherry wood frame, a Cedar soundboard and a hard beech pin block for reliable tuning. This open backed model has the option to have the tuning Key mounted underneath if preferred. This is the culmination of my 20 years of making.
Student Model Lyres
Cedar and Maple lyres are now available with wood decoration or plain metal straps on arms, sounding as good as the more decorated models but are available in a shorter timeframe.These feature the same hide glued tops as my more expensive lyres but have a machine-routed body from a solid plank.
