An Ancient Egyptian Lyre...RECREATED!
75The second in my new series of videos, showcasing in glorious HD, a magnificent replica of an actual, surviving ancient Egyptian lyre; dating to circa 1,500 BC!
This lyre was reconstructed from the actual dimensions of this miraculously surviving ancient Egyptian lyre, by Luthieros:

The original lyre is now preserved in Leiden:

The piece I am playing, is an arrangement of a traditional Egyptian folk song, "My Heart was Burnt by Love" - originally arranged for another of my lyres, in my 2009 album, "An Ancient Lyre"; as well as being available from all the usual digital music platforms, this album can now also be downloaded, direct from my website:
