Product Description

The earliest example of the lyre was found in Sumerian art works dated 2800 B.C. Sumerian lyres were asymmetrical, with one arm longer than the other. Often adorned with the sculptured figure of a bull or bull head at the joint of the sound box and one of the arms, with 9-11 strings. The Egyptian lyre first appears around 2000 B.C., with curved or straight arms of different lengths. It was played with a long plectrum held in the right hand, all strings being plucked together, while the left hand fingers fanned out to silence the unwanted ones. As a rule it was held horizontally with the crossbar away from the player. After 1000 B.C. a smaller, symmetrical lyre came to Egypt from Asia, with parallel arms, held upright. The lyre was also known to the ancient Hebrews, a trapezoid with 3 to 12 sheep gut strings of different thicknesses. In Greece the lyre was referred to as the phorminx and kitharis. The tuning was pentatonic without semitones, for instance EGABD, not neccesarily in that order, with any extra strings duplicating those notes in other octaves. The F, C and other notes were obtained by stopping the next lower string to raise its pitch. Plucked lyres are still played in Asia and Africa. Dimensions 9 x 14 x 2.5. ... Read more

Product Description

The Huqin is a family of Chinese bowed instruments that became popular during the Sung dynasty, circa 960-1279 AD. Bowed instruments were likely invented in Central Asia and Mongolia, and the name huqin means foreign instrument. These instruments have 2 strings tuned in 5ths, and a snakeskin resonator. The bow is placed between the pair of strings and rosined on both sides of the hair. They are played with a wide variety of virtuosic techniques, and have a tone that is both mellow and sweet and bright at the same time. The most important instrument in the huqin group is the Erhu, which is widely played in many genres of Chinese music and is often used as a solo instrument, having a large repertoire.

Sharpening levers are not on strings shorter than 6". All instruments come with a tuning tool and a Basic Instruction Book. All Celtic harps come with an extra set of strings and are color coded; red for "C" and blue for "F". New harps normally need to be tuned several times before they are functional. The more they are tuned and the older they are, the brighter the sound becomes. The Celtic harp also goes by the names folk harp, lever harp and Irish harp. The last is a bit of a misnomer; technically, an Irish harp would be a harp made in Ireland. Just as Celtic music often brings the bonny green isles to mind, so too does the Celtic harp. However, Celtic culture and music is actually much more widespread. Please Note: The free Celtic CDs titles may vary. ... Read more
