Playing the lyre offers a plethora of benefits, including ease of learning and a remarkable ability to evoke a sense of calmness. This makes it an ideal instrument for relaxation, meditation but also for parents and professionals working with children. The pentatonic tuning of the lyre ensures that any combination of notes played will produce a harmonious melody, allowing even novice players to experiment with and express themselves through improvisation. As players advance in their musical journey, they can explore more complex exercises and pieces, further enhancing their fluidity of expression. We strive to make quality instruments that are balanced in form and tone. The design of our products is modern, inspired by Waldorf art, while allowing the natural tone of the wood to come alive. This lyre has the following pentatonic tuning: d', e', g', a', b', d", e"/ re', mi', sol', la', si', re", mi" You can naturally vary the tuning of the instrument within certain limits. All of our lyres are made of one piece of wood, selected for resonance, with no defects and structurally solid. This particular instrument is made of European Ash wood. Ash is often used for solid body musical instruments. The natural resonance of the wood results in a balanced tone that is sweet sounding, for defined lower notes to clear high notes. The heartwood of some Ash trees has nice dark-on-light stripes that resemble Olive wood. We use mostly this part of the timber that is not only beautiful but also dense and strong, which helps with the resonance of the instrument and the rigidity against the string tension. This instrument is polished carefully to allow the natural colors of the wood to shine through. We finish the instrument with a few coats of Shellac. We use natural colored shellac for our ash instruments which ads a yellow - orange layer of color to the brown hues of the wood. Naturally, wood grain and color vary with each instrument, each one being unique. We use only high quality parts. The tuning pegs, tuning keys and strings are made in Germany.
