Sailing on a Lake is a very popular piece for harp beginners. Enjoy it here, first played on Lynda Lyre with nylon strings. This will be my last recording of the Lynda Lyre with nylon strings for a while, because I’ve changed them to wire strings for more resonance and sustain. Note that this instrument was designed for either type, and not all lyres are that way.

Here is the piece with said wire strings. Notice the difference in sound!

19-string acoustic lyre, played in G to suit the range.

Double strung played on 2 19-string acoustic lyres. Since there are 2 rows of strings, the hands don’t run into each other. So this one is played in C.

Here is the video to learn this simple, but beautiful piece:
