So let’s talk about different ways or techniques of playing the Lyre Harp. There will be some easy or basic, too advanced where you can mix all of this technique to enhance the sounds you are really aiming for.
Plucking
Let’s start first with the basics, plucking is also the same with most of the stringed instruments like guitar and bass guitar. There are 3 types of this style, single-note plucking, chord plucking, and rhythm plus melody plucking.
Single Note Plucking
This type of plucking is very straightforward. You will hit the specific note or string alone to produce the sound. It’s the same as pressing a specific key on a piano or key in kalimba.
Chord Plucking
This type of plucking is hitting more than 1 string at the same time that will produce the sound of the chord you need to play. For example, you need to play the chord of Cmaj, you will need to pluck C, E, and G note strings all at the same time. And again it’s the same thing in the piano when playing the chords.
Rhythm and Melody
This next type of plucking is mixing the rhythm and melody, it means you need to hit both the notes for rhythm and melody which will make the sounds fuller. It will make the sounds it produces with a base tone. You can also mix this technique with chord plucking but this time you would probably use your two hands.
Strumming
This method will be the same as strumming in a guitar or ukulele. With some additional steps of blocking the notes or strings that are not intended to be played. The strum should be played clockwise to the main chords you will be playing. It will also be almost the same as chord plucking but this time you would be strumming the strings then blocking others.
Mixed
For the advanced lyre harp users, you can mix these different styles. This will be based on your creativity in playing the lyre harp. All of these techniques can be used on one music, song, or piece.
