early medieval lyres and more

 
 

“Memory” an anglo-saxon style lyre with intricate woodburned designs.

HIstorical look, feel, and sound

Our lyres are built to look the part and sound great. Though often using modern hardware, our lyres have warm and mellow tones that are very at home in bardic circles or intimate spaces.

Classic yet fantastical

Be it an apollo style lyre, a sutton-hoo or a kravik, our lyres cover a wide swath of ancient and medieval European history. Additionally, we build lyres with unique and original fantasy designs, both inspired by, and in contrast to history.

Full size, travel, and mini

We build lyres in a number of sizes for different use cases and budgets. Our full size offer the best sound, with deep resonance and warm tone. Minis are excellent for folks first getting into lyre, and for musicians on the go. Travel size offer the best of both, using nylon strings on a smaller frame.
