Lyre Harps String Instrument:
The lyre belongs to the family of stringed musical instruments that were used in Greek antiquity and later eras. The lyre also resembles in shape with small harp. Organology has another name for lyre harp such as “yoke lute”. This means that lyre is a type of lute in which the strings are attached to the yoke. Lyre was extensively played in Greece due its great sound quality to enrich poetry festivals. It was also played in many Jewish folk festivals in Eastern Europe. Lyre harp was also popular in Greek, Turkish, American, and Gypsy cultures due to its Jazz-like rhythms.
The earliest forms of lyre contained seven strings during the 14th century B.C. in the ancient days, lyre was played by people by strumming the strings with a pick called plectrum. This shows its stringed nature like a zither or a guitar. However, like harp, lyre players do not pluck strings with a bare finger. Lyres were also played in Europe and some regions of the Middle East.

Some organologists regard lyre as zither and others regard it separate from zither. In 2010, a 2300 year old lyre was found in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye. However, the dates of origin of lyre and its European evolution also vary. Variants of lyre were developed in Europe such as:
- Rottee: Anglo Saxon lyre
- Talharpa: Estonia
