The lyre
is a string instrument that dates back to 1400 BC in Greece. Known for its use in Greek classical antiquity and later periods, the lyre is similar in appearance to a small harp but with distinct differences.
In organology, lyre is defined as a "yoke lute", being a lute in which the strings are attached to a yoke that lies in the same plane as the sound-table and consists of two arms and a cross-bar. (1 janv. 1400 av. J.-C. – 25 janv. 600 av. J.-C.)
