This Anglo-Saxon Lyre is based on the design of those discovered at the Sutton Hoo burial site. Dating back to the early 7th century, the Sutton Hoo lyre had no sound hole, but still creates a full, rich sound. The Sutton Hoo Lyre is thought to have been strummed while damping several strings, or plucked.

Dogwood Glen's Anglo-Saxon Lyre has 6 nylon strings tuned to the key of D, which is thought to have been one of several common tunings of that time. This lyre is roughly 24" tall and 8" wide.

Comes in your choice of Cherry, Walnut, or Maple. Shown here in Cherry.
