Tuning Fork. Replacement Strings. THE SCHOOL LYRE – 35-stringed chromatic lyre for more advanced players. Perfect as a teacher's lyre.THE LYREThe aim has been to create a lyre with a clear and light-filled sound, carried by the material's own tone quality. To achieve this, the strings are brought into balance with the static resistance of the shaped wood, which is needed so that the whole body of the lyre will be penetrated and resound with the tone's movement and evoke the inherent sound qualities of the wood itself. In this living process, the”voice” of the instrument has its origin. The lyre is made out of maple wood.ADJUSTABLE SOUND CHARACTEROne particular feature on this instrument is the construction that allows you to adjust the lyre so that it comes closer to your personal sound ideal. The bridge on the LSK-lyre is possible to move up and down along the strings. If you move it up, towards the tuning pegs you will shorten the active, sounding string length. Doing this you will achieve two things: lowering the string tension AND the bridge will come closer to the centre of the reasoning board The change of these two parameters will, both separately and even more efficient together, result in a warmer, more colourful sounding tone. It will become softer to play but with a slightly stronger attack when you play the tone. If you move the bridge in the opposite direction downwards, away from the tuning pegs, you will make the sounding part of the string longer. This will result in two things; the string tension will become higher AND the bridge will be closer to the rime of the sound board. Both these changes will contribute to a somewhat “colder”, more crystalline and louder tone. It will be a little harder to strike and have a less pregnant attack as you play it.So, when you start to work with the Auris 35 stringed lyre you will have the possibility to find out what position of the bridge will give the tone quality and playability that you prefer.
