New lyre, crafted for Dan Capp of Wolcensmen/The Fyrgen.
Sitka Spruce Toredo floatlog soundboard on Black Walnut body. This type of soundboard naturally has holes caused by woodworms, a type of mullusk found in the Pacific Ocean. The back is bookmatched Black Walnut. Sides are bookmatched and steam bent, with kirfing for structural support. The end tailpiece anchor is ancient walrus ivory, the bridge is mammoth ivory. This lyre also features guitar tuning pegs rather than zither pins, eliminating the need for a separate tuning key. This also makes tuning more precise and consistent. The strings are Aquila "nylgut" harp strings from Italy.
