The practice/travel lyre is the most compact and light 7 string Lyre I make, the difference between this and the Viking version which has a longer sound box in sound is like comparing a soprano ukulele to a tenor ukulele, more emphasis on the treble. I can build this instrument with a red cedar soundboard to add more warmth if required.
