Kinderharfe / Children's Lyre

Kinderharfe / Children's Lyre

A 10 stringed, pentatonic lyre. It produces a delicate and clear tone which can be played by stroking or plucking the strings individually or in groups to make chords.

 

It is a robust design made with a solid hardwood body (Elm, Ash, Maple or others) and resonant tonewood on the front (Spruce, Pine, Matai, Kauri, or Kahikatea). The strings are tuned with a dulcimer pin wrench which is included.

 

This instrument can be played by anyone! It’s simplicity allows the player to discover the joy of melody. I have built these Children’s Lyres for the residences of intellectually disabled people where their helpers can play this instrument, whether they are a musician or not, to help with encouraging relaxation and sleep when they stay overnight. It’s a great instrument for Music Therapy or Sound Healing, or as a first melody instrument for children or adults. The tuning is B,D,E,G,A from low to high, then repeating again for the next 5 strings.
