Conjured out of the air - an improvisational creation for a magnificent ancient lyre recreation!

The lyre I am playing, is the 'Lyre of Thamyris' - handmade in modern Greece by Luthieros:

This little improvisation hopefully demonstrates some of the fascinating explorations of timbre and texture which can be improvised around on the lyre; thanks to the almost limitless combinations of plectrum plucked, plectrum strummed & finger plucked & even percussive timbres which are possible on these wonderful instruments...
