O’Carolan’s Lyre – Various Lyres

My original composition, played on Lynda Lyre

Here are some new recordings of this tune I wrote in 2020. It sounds really lovely on BJL lyres with steel strings!

BJL 19-string acoustic lyre

BJL 16-string solid body lyre. Why am I sharing both 19- and 16-string recordings? Because modifications must be made to play this on a 16-string. Also, because one is acoustic, and the other is solid body. I love both!

BJL 7-string pentatonic lyre, but not pentatonic for this tune. Tuning: D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4, B4, D5

Yes, double strung too, played on 2 BJL 19-string acoustic lyres.

Here is a new Lynda Lyre recording, since, hopefully, I play better now than I did when I made the first one!

And a version without lyre, just for good measure
