Whats is a lute

Answer 1

Hi there. I just bought a beautiful lyre in a thrift store for $2. It was gritty dirty but I have mostly cleaned it up. I have been researching it and have found that is is most often strummed with a pick or a plebum (I think it is called). It can also be plucked much as a harp.

I hope to learn more at a music store I will visit next week.

It can be played more like a xylophone, but it looks a little bit different....
