Introduction to Lyre Harp

The Lyre harp, a string instrument with roots in Greek classical antiquity, is a unique instrument with a rich history. Not to be confused with a traditional harp, the Lyre harp is classified as a "yoke lute" in organology. This means that the strings are attached to a yoke that lies in the same plane as the sound-table, consisting of two arms and a cross-bar.

In Ancient Greece, the Lyre harp accompanied recitations of lyric poetry. The earliest depiction of a Lyre harp with seven strings can be seen in the renowned sarcophagus of Hagia Triada, used during the Mycenaean occupation of Crete.

Unlike traditional harps, the Lyre harp in classical antiquity was commonly played by strumming with a plectrum, similar to a guitar or zither. The fingers of the free hand would silence unwanted strings in the chord. Later versions of the Lyre, such as the Byzantine lyre, were played with a bow in Europe and parts of the Middle East.
