anglo saxon lyre

dylanholderman:
so one of a seemingly unending number of projects i have going at any given time was a saxon lyre, and i got it done!  (A)




this was a fun and actually pretty quick project, if you have some decent power tools and aren't farting around like me you could probably get it done in a day or two. the only "hard part" is the friction pegs and you could just buy some violin pegs and a reamer to go with them to skip making them yourself.

if you want a sound clip and way to many photos here's a link

Pat B:
Nice Dylan and all hand tool work. Can you play it?

dylanholderman:
I can pluck at it a bit but I’m no musician  (lol) and I like the sound of it but it doesn’t really call to me enough to get good at it, it’ll probably end up with someone in my re-enactment circles once we’re allowed to have events again.
I did use power tools a bit (drill press and table saw to kerf as deep as I could)

stuckinthemud:
Nice work, like it

bjrogg:
No need for name calling  ;) :o.

Looks really nice Dylan. Before you know it you’ll be building harps like Marc.

Always enjoy seeing what other interesting projects PA members are working on.
