The lyre is a string instrument known for its use in Greek classical antiquity and later periods. Similar in appearance to a small harp, the fundamental difference is that the strings enter directly into the hollow body of the harp, 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 of the traditional harps use nylon strings, whereas lyres usually uses steel strings. In terms of timbre, the lyre still has the ethereal and long-lasting tone of a harp, but it sounds more ancient with a Medieval deeper tone. The sound of steel strings adds a mysterious and unique beauty to this instrument.
