The Lyre of Ur, at least the remains which were discovered in the ground in 1929, was reconstructed into an exhibit at the Iraqi National Museum..using new wood for the body. So it isnt exactly the original thing, it must be remembered.

It was vandalised but the bits were re-found, and it is now walled up in the basement. It dates from around 2,550 BC

We made a new but authentic version to play and to take and show its history to all people around the world. We call it the Lyre of Ur Project.

What are the different types of ancient Egyptian lyres are there?

Music played an important part in ancient Egyptian society and formed an important part of religious ceremonies as well as everyday entertainment. Harps, lutes, tambourines, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, oboes, rattles, drums and seven-string lyres have all been identified in Egyptian art. The name of the lyre was written DADAt in hieroglyphs [D=dj and A is a glottal stop], followed by the determinative for wooden things (there was no single hieroglyph depicting the lyre as there was for the lute). Your question implies that there was more than one type of lyre, but I can find no evidence for this. Only one name for the instrument existed in the ancient Egyptian language and pictures seem to be very consistent in the details shown, so I guess that only one type was generally used. The seven strings make the Egyptian lyre distinct from the Greek instrument. The link below shows a typical lyre in an Egyptian wall painting.
