Will you add a link to the instrument builder's website to the video description above, so people know where they can purchase one of these instruments?
Great Sounds☆ beautiful experimenting☆ on a trip to Ioannina in NW Greece I saw an old Lyra with very many pegs...is that an instrument with sympathetic strings that existed in Greece/Balkans? Or was it an experimental Lyra? The one I saw had only one or two remaining strings on it.

από ότι ξέρω, η αρχική ιδέα προέρχεται από το ινδικό τοξοτό σαράγκι. Ο Ροςς εμπνεόμενος από αυτό, ανέθεσε την δεκαετία του '80 την κατασκευή μίας λύρας με συμπαθητικές χιρδές στον οργανοποιό Μπρά στην Αθήνα. Αργότερα ανέλαβε τα ινία ο Στέλιος Πετράκης στην Κρήτη, που έχει κατασκευάσει την πλειοψηφία -μέχρι ΄τωρα- αυτών των οργάνων. ¨Ομως και άλλοι αργανοποιοί έχου νκατασκευάσει παρεμφερή όργανα με επιτυχία,
Nikos Tzannis-Ginnerup Nikos’ reply is basically correct, the first lyra of this type was designed by myself and constructed by Nikos Bras in 1991 in Athens. The design borrows aspects of the Bulgarian Gadulka and the Indian Sarangi which are then incorporated into what is essentially a Cretan lyra. Today they are made primarily by Stelios Petrakis (www.steliospetrakis.com), although other people are also now constructing very fine versions of this instrument.

Dear Ross we still love you and your music! Greetings from Poland, Warszawa.
Very nice sir. Love from Punjab☬
Absolutely gorgeous instruments all of them. Thank you for detailing the differences in construction and material between the different instruments.
Greetings with Love from Kurdistan!!!!
wonderful playing of the Lyra Mr ROSS DALY I've admired your special talents for many years my friend, you also look like a man with great FILOTIMO!!!
Beautiful.
Does the string bridge sit on the top of the instrument, or does it sit on the stick that runs through the center of the body?
I would like to purchase a Lyra with sympathetic strings. Where can I find to purchase?
Will you add a link to the instrument builder's website to the video description above, so people know where they can purchase one of these instruments?

Wow, how does all that sound come out of those little things?

Sounds like a sarangi
Πρώτη φορά τον ακούω να μιλάει αγγλικά. Δεν το πάει κι άσχημα!
