The lyra harp guitar is
inspired by William
Eaton who built
the original Lyraharp Guitar. This version was designed in close
collaboration with Echo Greywolf, the musician who now owns and
plays it. Played like a standard guitar, the harp guitarist can
pluck the harp strings or let them ring along with the melody
strings adding depth to the overall sound.
The top, back and sides
are made from Hawiian Koa wood. The necks are made from mahogany
and topped with ebony. The body and necks are trimmed in curly
maple.
There are a total of 24
strings, 10 sub-bass, 6 melody and 8 super trebles. They can be
tuned any way the played wants and sound great when tuned to open
tunings.
Tuning machines are gold
Gotoh's whith ebony knobs. Hitch pins are machined from brass.
The inlay uses a scroll
motif found in many historical harp guitars. The two doves at
the 12th fret symbolize peace and music.
Here are some other lyra harp guitars I have built
with spruce tops.
