The aim has been to create a lyre with a clear and light-filled sound, carried by the material’s own tone quality. To achieve this, the strings are brought into balance with the static resistance of the shaped wood, which is needed so that the whole body of the lyre will be penetrated and resound with the tone’s movement and evoke the inherent sound qualities of the wood itself. In this living process, the ‘voice’ of the instrument has its origin.
