| | There were basically four different musical instruments of the lyre type: the lyre, the barbitos, and two different types of kithara - the cradle kithara and the concert kithara. | | | The lyre was used more frequently among the younger Greek musicians, and the barbitos was used in a love and entrancing context. | | | The cradle kithara is small and lightweight like the lyre and the concert kithara is a larger version like the barbitos. |

| | Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus is a double CD or, rather, two completely different albums packaged in one very handsome box with a stylish lyric booklet and subtly colored pastel sleeves. | | | Warren Ellis' swampy bouzouki and Thomas Wydler's more stylized drumming move the band in the tense, skeletal swirl where chorus and Cave meet the music in a loopy dance. | | | It is a bit of a shock after Abbatoir Blues, but it isn't meant for playing immediately afterward; it is a separate listening experience. |

| | After several iterations of early label designs, The Company settled on this label, often referred to as the "lyre label," and used it in most of its acoustic stringed instruments up through 1930, except for banjos, and Loar-signed instruments (F5 mandolins, H5 mandolas, L5 guitars, etc.). | | | Clearly, at first glance, it appears to be a lyre (an early instrument that was similar to the shape of the instrument in the label above with three to six strings and no fretboard). | | | But clearly, there were never popular, and aside from being inside almost every acoustic stringed instrument the company made, it never made it to the catalog as a Gibson instrument model. |

| | Each lyre had a different animal head protruding from the front of the sound box to denote its pitch: the bull lyre was bass, the heifer lyre was tenor and the stag lyre was alto. | | | Researchers believe the notes constituted the same scale as Queen Shub-Ad's harp and were achieved by the tension of the strings rather than the length. | | | Its design was developed from the harp by replacing the single bow shape with two upright arms joined by a crossbar, and the strings, instead of joining the sound box directly, were made to run over a bridge attached to the box. |
