Gallic Lyre

Mini Gallic Lyre – compact handcrafted Celtic-style plucked lyre with a bright, high-pitched voice and fast response.

Its lightweight, compact body makes it easy to hold and highly responsive, producing a focused, sparkling tone that cuts through ensemble playing while remaining delicate in solo performance.

Ideal for musicians seeking a portable lyre with a clear, high-register sound and strong character.
