sweet job
Beautiful! I am making one myself, so I stumbled upon your video while looking for references. I'm taking a different route, but i hope it ends up sounding as well as yours. Cheers!
Thank you so much, I'm just at the beginning.
I used only materials that I had at home and I'm pretty proud of what I made.
I appreciate so much your comment, good luck for your building.
🎉
Bellissimo
This is really great!WELDONE!
Thank you very much, really appreciated!
Good job
I really appreciate it
@@Giuseppe002You’re welcome!
You’ve sparked my interest in building one back up. Thank you!!
@@uriel-heavensguardian8949 I'm so glad to hear that, good luck for the building!
nice vid, well done
I'm so thankful for your appreciation
Amazing build. Do you use any structural support inside the lyre itself?
Thank you very much. Yes actually I do, but I put only some reinforcement made of wood inside the two bottom angles, those between the bottom base and the two sides of the instrument. The glue I used is pretty strong and is perfect for wood so I didn't need to reinforce so much the structure.

Hi, beautiful. What kind of strings you use?
Hi, I used nylon strings for classical guitars, I cut them in order to obtain the right length.
I suggest to use them for their high resonance capability.
thank you for your answer, i want to build one myself, but the strings used is a mistery to me. as do measurements for the instrument itself!@@Giuseppe002
@@sergiocecilio5938hi Sergio, well right now I don't remember precisely the dimensions of the instrument, but I could say you that it is around 60 cm long, around 30-35 cm wide and 5 cm of height.
The diapason is adjustable, you can move the bridge basically where you want but I suggest to set it right under the holes of the soundboard, in that point is where you can achieve the maximum resonance because is a central position. So the diapason goes from 30 to 40 cm; the two columns that form the yoke structure with the transversal wood, where are housed the tuning pegs, are around half of the total length of the instrument, so about 30-35 cm.
I hope it can be useful to you, I'm sorry but don't remember the specific dimensions but I think that these wich I gave you are indicatively right.
Good luck for your build 💪, have a nice day.
And also the strings I used are from Thomann, I bought the Harley Benton for classical guitar, they are cheap and do a good job.
The only negative thing is that you have to re-tune often the instrument.
