Hi, I just want to say that this week, inspired by you, I finally bought a 16 strings lyre harp and in just three days I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you so much ✨
Hey Samantha, because of you i learned how to play the Lyre&im very thankful! I have a little request, could you make a tutorial on how to play the Song "Palästinalied" from Walter von der Vogelweide? Have a nice day!!
Hello! Welcome onboard! I'm glad to have inspired you to play the lyre. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with medieval music, but I found a tutorial on "Palästinalied" written in C major, so it will fit the lyre. The link is: th-cam.com/video/bCvPK0u82y4/w-d-xo.html . I hope that will help you!
HI Samantha ,the lyre harps posted on Amazon for sale does not have the alphabets engraved on them. Where can I buy 1 bowl sharp lyre with the alphabets engraved on it. Thk U
Hi Sara. It seems Aklot removed the letter notation in more recent models. A solution could be to put sticker labels on the pegs. I haven't tried other sellers so I'm not sure of their quality.
@@SaraLee-xc1lc Yes they're metal strings. My lyre came with a set of spare strings. I'd suggest you check the product description to see if the purchase include spare strings.
So I don’t know if you still read this but I do like the video even though it frustrated me more than it should, not because I’m learning but rather finding out my lyre is 19 strings and in reverse. So instead low to high it’s high to low. So it’s making learning more difficult since my pinao is low to high. (Low on left hand side with high on the right hand side.) so it’s just weird and different. Maybe mines is just weird or maybe I’m just slow. Still like the video though.
Your lyre is strung like a harp, and it's a preferred choice for those who either play the harp or plan to transition to it. I understand the frustration though; I have a lyre like that too! The positive thing is that the notes remain the same, so you can still follow the notes in my videos by referring to the notes on your lyre. Thank you for watching my video and for commenting. I hope it get easier for you.
Do you know if it's a pentatonic lyre? If yes, you don't need to follow any tutorials. Just play the strings randomly. You can sometimes pick two strings at the same time. Create your own rhythm. The great thing about pentatonic instruments is they sound harmonious no matter how you play it.
@@SamanthaonMars I honestly have no idea. I'm not even sure how to tell. I had hoped for sheet music, though, to learn some actual songs rather than just my own random plucking. I'll find something eventually, I imagine.
All my songs on this channel can be played on a 21-string lyre harp. It doesn't matter the direction of the strings from high to low. The notes are still the same.
Hi Samatha! I just wanna say that you very help me with my dream. Right now I buy lyre on Amazon. It was my dream. Thank you so much! Some information. My parents wasn't believe in me. But when I showed them "Wellerman" on lyre thry eas shocked that lyre is so beautiful. Thank you so much again! Hm... What about song "Faded" by Alan Walker? I think that song can be very beautiful on lyre. What do you think about it?
Hi! Your story is a delight to read. How awesome that you've moved your parents with your passion and talent. I'm so happy for you! I just listened to "Faded" (I know this song is everywhere but I've never listened to it 😂). I think it's doable on the lyre harp. Let me put it in my list of songs to learn.
Hi it's been a while! I just found a "Faded" tutorial. Rather than waiting for me to learn the song (which can take ages XD ), maybe I'll send you the link: th-cam.com/video/rHx49J7QUiY/w-d-xo.html . It's written in C major, so you can play the notes directly on the lyre. Hope it helps!
For sound of silence am I using the d4? Also,.I just purchased a brand new lyre from Amazon by some company called cega The darn thing won't stay in tune !!!! Ive spent accumulated 2.5 hours trying to tune it. As soon as it's tuned it goes out after a few strings are played. Can you help!? And thank you for tutorial. So excited to eventually begin.
Yep, the Sound of Silence starts at D4. Haha, you sound so much like me when I started the lyre. Tuning was a struggle because the strings were new. The strings need time to stretch out and settle. Usually it takes about a week of daily tuning to feel a difference. After that they'll hold their pitch much better.
I have that video I just wanted to know if I can have the reading notes on it so I can play it myself and I would love to hear you play it I'm just a beginner myself but you're playing sounds so beautiful
Do you mean raising a note to a sharp? A tuner and a tuning wrench will be all you need. I have a video on tuning lyres that may help you: th-cam.com/video/GkFsgHpadgg/w-d-xo.html
I honestly quit learning since I was already dealing with the stress of my piano classes and homework, but I’ve finally taken out my lyre and I shall definitely play!! update: my lyre has been destroyed by my dog
Oh dear, so sorry to hear that your dog destroyed your lyre. :'( Remember there's no timeline in a hobby. It's just something for fun. You can always pick up at your own pace.
I love your videos and how easy they are to learn and follow.. I was wondering if you could make one for a Zelda song? pretty much any of them would be so fun to learn.. either way I cant wait to see what you play next
Hi Samantha! Your channel has helped me a lot with the lyre. I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work! If it's possible, could you do "your meaning" by IU next? What your doing is amazing!!
Hi Avia. You need a tuner (they come in physical forms & phone apps) and a tuning wrench. This video shows you how: th-cam.com/video/GkFsgHpadgg/w-d-xo.html . Let me know if you have any question tuning your lyre.
Hi Samantha, I have a request: could you please do the tutorial of "0(zero)",the ending song of "Vanitas no carte"? (I don't know if it's possible, i have only thought it would sound beautifully on the lyre) ps. beautiful video as always 😁
Hello Samantha, i just started to play a 19 strings lyre and your videos are so helpful to me. Thank you for that. Keep posting videos. And i would be very happy if you teach us how to play enchanters from dragon age inqusition.

Thanks for making this. I want to learn "you are my sunshine" on the harp for my mum. She always used to sing it to me wh en I was younger.
Mine does not have notes on them
@@snapcentrel Did you download the right file? The file name is "5 Easy Beginner Lyre Harp Songs.pdf"
@@SamanthaonMars I’m talking about my harp
@@snapcentrel I see, lol. Some people would put sticker labels on the lyre to help them with telling the strings apart, if that helps.
Just got a 16 string Lyre this weekend- thanks for the tutorial, it helps greatly!!!
Glad it helped!

@@SamanthaonMars
16 string lyre like the same one you got! I’m trying to tune my lyre and stretching the strings when I play it it’s quite a pain x’d
I love this so much! Thank you (btw have you played any Taylor Swift songs on the lyre? Like willow, tolerant it. Etc?$
Hi Izzy. Thank you! I haven't tried Taylor Swift yet. I'll consider your suggestions. Thank you for suggesting them to me. =)
@@SamanthaonMars 😊
Thank you 🙏

Thk u Samantha for your prompt reply. do we also buy extra strings from Amazon? and they they are metal strings?
@@SaraLee-xc1lc Yes they're metal strings. My lyre came with a set of spare strings. I'd suggest you check the product description to see if the purchase include spare strings.
Thk u Samantha
I just received my lyre today and it has the notes on the top but I think mine is an older model. I’m glad that I don’t have to use stickers. 😊

Good video. I unfortunately picked up a 7-string lyre and to date, have found no music for it.

@@jcraigwilliams70 I hope the seller's website (or the manufacturer's) would tell you which type it is, or the type of music you can play on it.
do you have music for a 21-string lyre harp with strings going from high E6 on the left and lower F3 on the right as you look at the lyre?
All my songs on this channel can be played on a 21-string lyre harp. It doesn't matter the direction of the strings from high to low. The notes are still the same.

@@SamanthaonMars you're amazing ! Thank you 💕
New stringed instruments are notoriously difficult to keep tuned. The more you play, though, the easier is usually gets.
3:32 It's C to A
Hey can you make a video for the ...the river flows in you 🎵 song that would be so cool to hear 👂 😎 thanks 😊 🙏
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Janine Faye has a tutorial on this song. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/lS0Q3wrwBOM/w-d-xo.html

Oh dear, so sorry to hear that your dog destroyed your lyre. :'( Remember there's no timeline in a hobby. It's just something for fun. You can always pick up at your own pace.
I’m so sorry about your lyre! I moved and don’t have room for a piano so I’m learning to play the lyre, autoharp and ukulele. 😊
Thank you so much for this guide! now my dnd Bard can play the LeBron You Are my Sunshine meme for my friends in my next session :D
Glad I could help!
I just got mine yesterday! No clue what I’m playing but I dedicate to God and it sounds so lovely!
The sound of silence joke got me a bit not gonna lie 🤣💦💦💦💦
That's wonderful! Phew, I feel relieved now someone finds it funny 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!!
