This Bordun Lyre is a very versatile instrument, used primarily in groups. Tuned to chords and notes, it provides an extremely easy way for accompanying songs. The strings bass and treble are tensioned across the body facilitating on the one hand differentiations of dark and light sounds but also accompaniment in various scales.
The Choroi lyres and harps were created through a striving for a characteristic radiant tone deriving its intensity from the properties of the different types of wood used in their construction. |
