Commissioned work, Lyra (a project that has occupied me for a long time), the gem was made in the workshop of the master violin maker Marion Michael, signed on the inside, total length 80 cm, of which the armor length is 35 cm, with good photo documentation (ring binder) of the construction. phases. The back shell of a hawksbill turtle (tortoiseshell) that I provided serves as a classic soundboard, (see also Kylix with a depiction of Apollo playing the lyre), covered with goat skin, the frame is made of ash, the holder for 7 Gut strings made of wood and brass. The lyre is also briefly used acoustically in the film "A Foray Through the Turtle Museum" (see media).
