Our Most Special Gift
Meet the Lyre of Linus
The most compact, lightweight, and sturdy lyre we’ve ever built, ready to accompany you wherever life takes you! Small enough to fit into a backpack, she’s the perfect companion for practising at home, while travelling, or whenever inspiration strikes.
But her greatest advantage isn’t her size. It’s the way she challenges you to become a better musician!
With just five strings at your disposal, you’re encouraged to explore harmonics, string pressing, and other advanced playing techniques to reach the additional notes you need. Did you know that skilled players can produce up to 11 different notes on a single string? Instead of relying on more strings, you learn to discover more possibilities within each one.
This approach nurtures a lifelong lyre player’s mindset, developing creativity, precision, and musical independence while helping you progress towards advanced playing techniques from the very beginning.
Five strings. A lifetime of musical possibilities.
Five Strings. Ten Techniques. Music Wherever You Go.
Don’t let its compact size fool you!
The Lyre of Linus is a remarkably versatile practice companion. Despite having only five strings, she allows you to practice many of the same techniques you would use on a 7-, 9-, 11-, or even 13-string lyre, just like those demonstrated in the video above!
In fact, this compact instrument offers plenty of opportunities to explore and refine at least 10 essential lyre-playing techniques:
Harmonics
Hroes
Tremolo
Sharp-pressing
Isokratis (the ancient-inspired drone effect)
Finger-playing & Plectrum techniques
Chords & Muting Chords
Rhythmic Precision
Your Musical Companion, Wherever You Go
Measuring just 52 × 30 × 10 cm and weighing only 800 grams, this compact yet sturdy little lyre is ready to accompany you almost anywhere!
Whether you’re travelling by plane, train, car, or simply heading out with your backpack, your musical practice doesn’t have to stop when you leave home.
A small instrument with remarkable possibilities — and a faithful musical companion for years to come.
Compact travel companion
To keep or to gift to someone you love

Ancient Inspiration, Music for Today
In our family workshop in the village of Europos, historical research begins each instrument’s journey. We study ancient Greek musical traditions and surviving evidence, then bring that knowledge to the workbench, where careful handcraft and a musician’s ear help shape lyres and kitharas made to be played, to be enjoyed, to be cherished for a lifetime.
That work reaches beyond the workshop through the SEIKILO Museum of Ancient Music and LyreAcademy, connecting the instruments with the stories behind them and the people learning to play them. For musicians, researchers, educators, and curious beginners alike, our hope is that each lyre becomes an invitation to explore, create, and share music.
