Lyre

Here are a series of photos of our high school senior working on a self designed study to make and learn to play a historical instrument.  It's a trossingen lyre.  Very, very cool project.  The instrument is hollow on the inside but without a hole like guitars have.  It also has no frets so the strings are all played open and chords are arranged by dampening the ones you don't want to resonate.  It's pretty to listen to.  Good work!
