16-string solid body BJL lyre. The volume of this instrument is impressive, especially without a sound box!
And on Lynda Lyre with nylon strings. This is a similar improv, but may or may not be the same… My intention was not to make it the same specifically, but if it is, that’s OK too!
And of course, double strung, played on 2 BJL 19-string acoustic lyres.
This is an original tune I’ve posted before. Written in 2010, it is entitled Light. I wrote it on ukulele, then played it on harp. Here I play 7-string pentatonic lyre. This little instrument is more versatile than you might think!

This is a tune I wrote to go with a poem a few years ago. It sounds lovely and more magical, I think, on a lyre with steel strings. This one is a 7-string BJL pentatonic lyre in G Major.
