Mother Lyre
The Katerina Institute of Ancient Musical Instruments has been facing trees for many years to produce various types of musical instruments, and it was created as an instrument that many people want to love.
In the first place, Lyre dates back to ancient times, sometimes used for prayers, not to sleep deeply, and has been important since the Greek era.
It is difficult to determine the origin of the lyre, but I imagine it was a simple expression that played a tune.
The mother lyre was designed so that the medieval harp would blow through the wind, just as the minstrels used lyre as the background music for the epic. Hold it in one corner and lightly pinch it with your right hand. You can also play with both hands, so you can play a wide range of songs such as chords and melodies.

Kokle
Latvian traditional folk instrument Kokle is produced with the original design of Katerina Institute of Ancient Musical Instruments. The sound of the steel strings travels down the wooden body to create a very beautiful reverberation. With 2 octaves of 16 strings, you can play a wide range of music. You can also use pentatonic strings and various scales to match the song you want to play, so please give it a try. There are various playing methods, such as holding the kokure vertically like a guitar and bringing the bass to the front, the treble to the front, or placing it on your lap or desk and playing like a kin. The number of strings and the type of tuning also have traditional tunings from Scandinavian Finland and Latvia, but the Katerina Institute of Ancient Musical Instruments proposes a scale of Doremi Fasolaside in an easy-to-understand manner. Let's start by striking the strings and enjoying the sound of each string.
