Will Ye No Come Back Again

This is a traditional Scottish tune, also known as Bonnie Charlie. I hope you enjoy it, first played on 19-string acoustic lyre with Pickaso Rotary Bow.

19-string acoustic lyre, plucked as usual.

My double strung arrangement, adding another 19-string acoustic lyre.

Here is another double strung arrangement on the same 2 lyres, but this one is in G. It’s also my favorite of the 2 arrangements.

Just because it’s so beautiful, Lynda Lyre with wire strings. This is not a double strung.

Mermaid Song on Lyres

I wrote Mermaid Song almost 5 years ago exactly, in June, 2021. It is a double strung piece that takes advantage of the effects possible only on double strung. Here, enjoy it first played on 2 19-string acoustic lyres. I especially love the ringing strings in this piece!

It can be played on a single course of strings as well. This is the Lynda Lyre with wire strings. I like the low notes in this one.

Even fewer strings still make a lovely arrangement possible. This is a 19-string acoustic lyre.
