Granted, you'll be hard-pressed to find a Greek lyre player these days. However, many instruments in the zither family have been influenced by the lyre in some way or the other. Included in the zither family is your ever popular guitar. That's right, you have to thank the Greeks for the menace known as Guitar Hero.

However, the lyre had a different status from the image the guitar has in modern times. In ancient Greece, the lyre was considered to be the superior instrument to the flute and mainly accompanied lyric poetry.
There were two main types of lyres, the lyra and the cithara. The lyra was primarily a folk instrument. The cithara, on the other hand, was a more substantial instrument which accompanied lyric poetry.

The lyre had seven vertical strings of equal length which were picked with a plectrum held in the right hand. The strings were attached to a crossbar at one end of the lyre and the soundbox on the other end of the lyre. There were pegs on the crossbar for tuning.
Though most lyres had seven strings, this wasn't always constant. The lyric poet Homer used a simple lyre of three to five strings known as a kitharis or phorminx. According to the Roman historian Plutarch, the poet Terpander and the musician Olympus only used three strings on their lyres.
String length and thickness weren't constants either. Two lyric poets, Sappho and Alcaeus, used a type of lyre with longer strings and lower pitch known as a barbitos or barbiton.

However, there were really no vegetarian-friendly strings in ancient Greece. All strings for lyres were made of gut, which is cord from the intestines of animals such as sheep or goats. Nowdays, nearly all strings for instruments are steel or some other synthetic material.
Overall, the lyre was a beautiful, widely-used instrument in ancient Greece. The Greek lyre was in essence, the granddaddy of today's string instruments.

Greetings, Miss Tanata
You stayed a long time without posting. I missed your posts. How are you doing?
Do you think I've ever seen an orchestra in which this instrument was employed ?? Here in Brazil is called Lira.
When I see him, I remember the memory of the film "in search of the holy chalice" of Mont Phyton. A very good comedy movie !!!!
I believe that various musical instruments have been derived from them. With the addition of technology, the sound emitted by him made people linked to music make it into other instruments of better resonance, for example.
Thank you and good morning!
Thank you, I'm doing great! Thanks for your comment and your attention! I must see this movie!
Очень интересная тема! Да, лира стала прародителем для очень многих инструментов. И кстати, 7 классических струн лиры дали названия 7-ми нотам классического звукоряда :)
Спасибо, я точно не специалист в этой теме) Теперь буду знать)
Струнные -это мое :)
