The lyre (Greek: λύρα, lýra) is a string instrument known for its use in Greek classical antiquity and later periods. The lyre is similar in appearance to a small harp but with distinct differences. The word comes via Latin from the Greek; the earliest reference to the word is the Mycenaean Greek ru-ra-ta-e, meaning "lyrists" and written in the Linear B script. The lyres of Ur, excavated in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), date to 2500 BC. The earliest picture of a lyre with seven strings appears in the famous sarcophagus of Hagia Triada (a Minoan settlement in Crete). The sarcophagus was used during the Mycenaean occupation of Crete (1400 BC). The recitations of the Ancient Greeks were accompanied by lyre playing.
The lyre of classical antiquity was ordinarily played by being strummed with a plectrum (pick), like a guitar or a zither, rather than being plucked with the fingers as with a harp. The fingers of the free hand silenced the unwanted strings in the chord. However, later lyres were played with a bow, including in Europe and parts of the Middle East.
"How Far" is a song recorded by American country music artist Martina McBride. Released in May 2004, it was the third single from her album Martina. The song was written by Shaye Smith, Ed Hill and Jamie O'Neal.

The "lyre of Har Megiddo" is an instrument etched onto an ivory plaque that was discovered by archaeologist Gordon Loud in the excavations of a royal palace in the ancient city of Megiddo (aka Armageddon) in Israel. One of the interesting things about this image, which appears at the beginning of this video, is that it dates from roughly the time of the biblical King David (slightly before 1000 B.C.) and if David played a harp, as the Tanach (Old Testament) says he did, it was almost certainly an instrument of this sort. David's instrument, which was called a "kinnor" in ancient Hebrew, had ten strings, and we know that he played it "with his hand" (as opposed to using a plectrum or pick for strumming - 1 Samuel 13:9). Being curious as to what this instrument might have sounded like, I bu...
This video shows Corwen Broch playing his reconstruction of the lyre found recently at Trossingen in Germany. The lyre in the video has six nylgut strings (gut can be substituted on request), a body carved from oak and a maple soundboard for extra volume. The original Trossingen lyre was entirely maple and this is how we now make our reconstructions (the lyre in the video was our prototype).Unlike Anglo-Saxon lyres the Germanic lyres have a one piece body without a separate yoke. These instruments are for sale at www.ancientmusic.co.uk

First approach of Yerko Lorca as lyre player in Athens. The song is an improvization after tuning it and discover the sound of this ancient greek instrument in the luthier laboratory Nikolaos Brass, Herakles and Socrates. The lyre in that video is made of wood, with the shape of a turtle's shell. It has a skin covering the soundbox, a wooden mast and 8 strings.

13 strings. I tuned the lyre by ear, so some notes are off. Only downside I can think of (right now) is that the strings do not resonate sufficiently because it lacks a soundboard.
Beware! The modern eye!
The seeking leach that lies!
It shuffles in your porch,
It’s in your TV smoking cigarettes
Behind your mummy’s back at night…
Reveries are what I long for,
Fantasies are what I live for;
Where have I been all my life?
We live in an evil world
Where others ache and die;
Inhuman sacrifice
To feed the West and Western-eyesed
With bloody money
Falling from the sky!
Reveries are what I long for,
Fantasies are what I live for;
Where have I been all my life?
Reveries are gonna save us,
Fantasies complete and change us;
Where have I been all this time?
Beware! The modern eye!
The seeking leach that lies!
Beware! The modern lie!
Deceiving all it eyes!
Beware! The modern times!
Cause all they bring are lies!
Beware! The modern eye!
Reveries are what I long for,
Fantasies are what I live for;
Where have I been all my life?
Reveries are gonna save us,
Reveries complete and change us;
