- In this video series, I will teach you how to play Cretan Lyra. I am a self taught Lyra Player and want to give people the opportunity I did not have while trying to learn. I hope this video series helps and if there is anything specific you want to hear, leave a comment below! Thanks Guys!
I'm from turkey and also i love this instrument, regards, long live ψαραντωνης
I'm of Arcadian decent and absolutely love Cretan music. What an amazing culture Crete has.
Thanks for this. The mournful way it plays makes me want one.
Please keep making videos I’m learning how to play this really helps
Μπράβο, τα εξηγείς τέλεια και βλέπω πολύ ξένοι εκτίμησαν την δουλειά σου όπως και εγώ! Πόσο κάνει η λύρα σου; Εγώ που έχω κοστίζει γύρο στα 500 ευρώ και βγάζει απίστευτο ήχο, είναι από τον Στάικα κάπως έτσι λεγόταν.
Από τον Στάικο. Τρομερός κατασκευαστής με αγάπη για αυτό που κάνει
Wow , awesome english accent. Great lesson as well , thank you for posting .
this is great
Much love from Karpathos. Great lesson. Getting one. Thank you.
Very interresting and almost complete ! You forgot the most important point about the playing . Every other stringed instruments are played with the finger ON the string, pressing it on the fretboard. It seems that the lyra is played with your NAILS, isn't ?
Very helpful file. I just bought a Lyra from crete which looks almost identical to yours. It just doesnt have these points to show where the notes are unfortunatly. Na se kala kai efharistw.
Hello file! I am glad you like the video, more will be coming very soon! If you need any extra help please contact me! jnm12@sunyorange.edu
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I seem to have an issue though. It was helpful for getting the Lyra in tune and holding the instrument and bow properly and making it sound properly, but I have a problem. When I get to the dots, the second dot actually resonates the sound of the second string, instead of the fourth and everything is tuned properly.
Edit: haha, I may have figured out my problem. You're not supposed to hold down the strings with your fingers are you? You're just supposed to put them against the string am I right?
Hello my friend! I am very sorry for not getting to you sooner... You are not supposed to hold down the string with your finger, you should be just pressing with your fingernail! If you need any help please contact me and I can help you out! jnm12@sunyorange.edu hope you enjoy the next few videos that will be posted!
thank you for posting this video. how much does a decent Lyra cost? and do you know of a good source where I can buy one from?
My lyra I bought from Nikos Papalexakis from Rethymno, I paid 1000 euros and I had a smooth transaction and Niko is a dear friend and amazing person. If you are just starting he does have learners lyres for a cheaper price. Find him on FAcebook
thank you John. It would be great if you could make another instructional video on Left hand techniques.
It would be best to learn with the right hand, mainly because anywhere you go people mostly play right handed, even though they may be left handed people
Can you clarify the name of the bow? I cant hear it properly in the video.
+Jess Sheridan Hi how are you! The greek name for the bow is called a Doxari (Δοξαρι)
@@a_re_yianni Yeah it's a Violin Bow, and I'd prefer the over hand grip for more comfort.
cool.
Excellent video jhon you are an excellent musician congratulacions .just one question : does lyra cretan sounds the same than classic kemence from turky? or lyra cretan sounds diferent?
Hey Henry! Thank you for the comment, the kemence is tuned differently therefore it does give a different sound
Thank you Jhon
Hi there,
just asking if its unusual when the strings are far from the neck
Hi! It depends how far you’re talking. If you can see mine are normal if they are higher than normal you may have a warped neck or a larger than normal bridge that may not be for your specific lyra. I’ve seen some instruments where people buy other bridges and add them without checking how it would affect the instrument
ΜΠΡΑΒΟ ΜΠΡΑΒΟ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΟΣ :D
thanks, John. Great help for new starting player. Do you know anyone in New York City who I might get lessons from?
Hey, I am actually in the NYC area
You don’t press the strings so u?
no, press the nail at the string....
Great video. Do you do online/skype Lyra lessons?
Niko G hey niko, send me a message on Facebook Γιάννης Μαντας ...we can figure something out!

Well the method makes no sense in the uk !
Well then I'm sorry you feel that way. But this method works with many others. There are other great teachers out there who teach on youtube, try them out
Γιατί μιλάτε στα αγγλικά
Γιατί προορίζεται το βίντεο σε ξένο κοινό
No in the uk teaching do , re mi fa doesn’t help as it can be from any major scale you should be teaching the note names you are playing !
If you pay attention, the notes being used are the notes on the instrument. Those are the notes that are taught in Greece. Again, if you listened to the video it is tuned ADG LA Re Sol.
How anyone could from your lesson is too confusing . Which is why I have given it a thumbs down !
Sorry you feel this way. This video has helped many others so maybe it is just a language issue. This was made for people outside of Greece who do not speak Greek to learn. Again has helped many. Maybe it is just not for you
