I am just wondering whether you could let me know how to make my own one. The information you shared on the web describes that guitar strings were used. Would you please tell me more details about which string for which tune? Do you have any recommended brands and how to tune them? How about the metal part at the end of string? Where can we get them? How long for each string? Would you please give us some idea about how to make the bridge? Thank you very much. chun-ting __________________________________________ Hello Chun-Ting, I used guitar strings for the lyres. They seem to work well. I can get two lyre strings from each guitar string. for one I use the metal bead at the end and for the other I substitue another bead to hold it in place. The lyre is handcarved and is about 45 cm long with 7 strings - pentatonic: D, E, G, A, B, D, E ascending. Having carved a beautiful ladle at Emerson, I am sure that this will be an easy project for you. The tuners are called zither pins and screw into the wood of the lyre to tighten or loosen the strings. Please send pictures and give my warmest greetings to I-Chi.

Hello Chun-Ting,

I used guitar strings for the lyres. They seem to work well. I can get two lyre strings from each guitar string. for one I use the metal bead at the end and for the other I substitue another bead to hold it in place. The lyre is handcarved and is about 45 cm long with 7 strings – pentatonic: D, E, G, A, B, D, E ascending. Having carved a beautiful ladle at Emerson, I am sure that this will be an easy project for you. The tuners are called zither pins and screw into the wood of the lyre to tighten or loosen the strings. Please send pictures and give my warmest greetings to I-Chi.

I do not feel by nature a healer, but it is nice to know that the combined effects of acting upon whimsy and a bit of sweat can bring about a little bit of healing for the land and for us two leggeds. Art continues to serve our development. Where are your passions and energies carrying you these days?

She is sounding and looking even more beautiful. Now I will have to broaden my repetoir of songs and really learn how to play. The real work never ceases...

We could include you in the list of programs inspired by the Bread House model in various countries and add your link to our websites. If you would like to develop a social enterprise Bread House, which is a bakery Bread House: Home of the Breads of the World, you could also write us and we can send you the details about this innovative social franchise initiative with bakeries+cultural centers emerging in various parts of the world, and you could also set up such a franchise in Toronto where I am sure it will have huge success, precisely because the network is quite global and it is easy for people to feel part of the world upon entering any Bread House in any country. Finally, I will be in Montreal end of November for a conference, and if we could possibly meet there it would be fantastic! Yours, Nadezhda Dear Warren,
