Let's take a moment to appreciate the gargantuan efforts of the American musician Erin Headley, who single-handedly resurrected the lirone from total obscurity back in the 1980s. I met Miss Headley during a masterclass given by her chamber group Philomel at the St Louis Conservatory in 1986. She was charming, self-deprecating, and profoundly and astoundingly musical. We have much to thank her for.

I absolutely loving learning about old instruments. Thank you for sharing

The first time I saw one of these, my jaw kind of hit the floor. Used to cellos, my eyes bugged out at the number of tuning pegs. And here I thought my mandolin had a lot of strings to tune. Oh, brother! There are a few of these in the Musical Instrument Museum in Leipzig, Germany¹. I was there this summer. Lots of very, very interesting instruments there including glass, yes, glass flutes and a couple of glass trumpets. Wanna play a glass instrument? I suggest you don't drop it. Great video! I've been looking for someone playing this instrument because I noticed how flat the bridge is and thought, "No way can those strings be played individually." Thanks for enlightening me! Brilliant!

Great, now I want one of those, too

It's tuned to Giant Steps ayyyy

Great presentation!

Thank you! Alan

Crwth, Talharpa, Jouhikko, etc...are also bowed lyres where you stroke whole chords (at least 2 notes simultaneously) and hold them "da gamba" (on your knee). The Lirone is very intriguing, especially the tuning. I would love to play one (or attempt to build one if I had the plans). Thanks for sharing!!

A truly wonderful meditative sound. I would LOVE to hear the LIRONE used to accompany/play Arvo Part's "Spiegel Im Spiegel". Mille Grazie, Laura. 🌷

It seems kind of like a bowed lute. Very beautiful instrument. Clearly a lot of great craftmanship went into making it.

Super cool! I cross tune the violin/fiddle - it adds resonance, and plays chords for self accompaniment - but that tuning is awesome! The low d tuning - G string goes to low D and E string goes one step down to D sounds like bagpipes on the low strings. Love the sound and tuning of the Lirone!

Thank you. Very interesting - never seen one of those before

Anything with sympathetic and/or drone strings is awesome

Sensitive, tactile music!

I love these baroque stringed instruments, the musicians who master them play for years just to play these weird obsolete sounds, but were the rock gods of their days, and the historical value is so cool. My blood boils with all the destruction left by ww2 including my grandfather who left earth in france as my dad was born. I pray this lovely peaceful instrument gets loved forever and played with full knowledge of it. I hope she knows she is breathing life into it and how important that is

Really neat. I know some basses can have a lot of strings as well; and, they are used a lot in different kinds of metal. The tuning pretty much goes in reverse from high E upward.

I like the Lirone, I'll see if I can get one.

Very interesting. It would have been nice to hear more of the instrument.

that sounds lovely and looks difficult to master

Well explained, intellegent Lady.

I think it'd suit contemporary classical music rather well. Imagine 2-3 of these playing pure harmonic major chords separated by major or minor thirds, or even minor sevenths. It would be a hell of a sound!

@mal2ksc

3 жыл бұрын

It's tuned in all fourths (neglecting the octave jumps), and you can set up a guitar in all fourths easily enough (tune the high B and E up a half step, or the other four strings down a half step) and quickly remember why guitars have that major third in the tuning in the first place. It breaks the pattern, so there are a lot more chord shapes to learn, but many of them are far more practical to perform as a consequence.

Sorry, can you tell me precisely where you buy strings for your instrument?

It's Fully Chromatic & it can play in every key sounding in tune, like a Piano. I believe they made 16 String Versions & lots of instrument makers should make Steel Strings for them.

Seems like frets could be tied onto one as easily as with anything else, it's just not evident that they were historically used this way. The still-extant Kontra doesn't have frets either, but does have the flat bridge designed for playing chords. If a fretless guitar is still a guitar, and adding frets to a bass doesn't make it not-a-bass, then it seems to me the presence or absence of frets is solely down to the role the instrument plays rather than being designed in from the start.

Are those DiMarzio's??

LOL, it is basically tuned like a Slonimsky exercise.

Great with a capo.

What? For demonstration purposes only? No playing of a full song, or half song nor quarter of a song or a full minute at least? That last seconds of video you could hear the bow scratching them strings!

Common tuning 32nd steps

I learned about djent today

Beautiful sounding instrument. How many strings do you typically bow a one time? I can't help but wonder if anyone has ever tried to play it like a Lute.
