Trossingen Lyre - handcrafted German-style plucked lyre inspired by medieval and early European musical traditions. Features a solid wood body, wooden tuning pegs, and nylon or nylgut strings for a warm, bright, and resonant sound. The body has a flat, rectangular shape with slightly curved arms, giving it a distinct Trossingen style and excellent projection. Designed for solo performance, ensemble playing, or historical reenactments, it is perfect for singers, folk musicians, and collectors of historical instruments. Its soft yet clear timbre recreates the authentic atmosphere of medieval music. Ideal for Nordic, Celtic, and early European folk, ritual, ambient, and acoustic performances.
