  • Very nice Mikko. I built a close relative to the Jouhikko, namely a Shetland Gue. I never thought to use a cigar box though. Great idea.

    These instruments have an interestung sound, don't they.

    I look forwards to the video!

  • Thank you all for the reply.

    At the moment it sounds terrible, but mainly because of the lack of my skills. I have never played bowed lyre before, so it will take some time to learn how to play.

    I will take a video at some point but not just yet...

  • So cool. I'd love to hear this thing.

  • I have made two of these so far! Looks fantastic! How does it sound?

  • Excellent, great inspiration
