In reply to Spencer. I don’t know, but doubt that Jensen makes lurs for the consumer market. To be honest, I doubt that anyone else make them for the market, because these instruments are so complicated to manufacture. Best wishes, Gjermund

Does Peter Jensen make lurs for the consumer market? Does anyone make and sell Lurs?

Hei.
Samuels sang – har jeg faktisk aldri hørt om – selv om jeg har tråla folkemusikken i Vestfold i lang tid. Låter veldig interessant, den boka må jeg nok skaffe meg.

In reply to Francisca Gili.

Hi! Thanks a lot.
I dont know if I know everything written around the world. My knowledge is for the most part about Europe and Asia. I will email you some of my articles directly (since they are not available in open access).
Speaking of the most ancient evidence: There are some great news from China now, where they have excavated a group of bone jew’s harps from the late Neolithic site Shimao in Shanxi province. I am invited there for a meeting where they present the finds and their significance. Very interesting!
Best wishes,
Gjermund

Dear Kirie,
I will send you a pdf of the article. The Shimao finds are really fine; great that you will work with them. Good luck!

Dear Professor Kolltveit,

I hope this finds you well. I am a PhD student of Chinese music archaeology at UCLA and would very much appreciate the opportunity to read your article “Jew’s Harps of Bone, Wood and Metal. How to Understand Construction, Classification and Chronology.” I am attempting to better understand the cache recently found at Shimao and am curious to read your research; unfortunately the UCLA library does not have this copy of Studien zur Musikarchäologie. May I kindly request a PDF? It would be very much appreciated.

Best wishes,
Kirie Stromberg

Comment on Instrumental Advent Calendar #24: Lyre by Gjermund Kolltveit

Gjermund Kolltveit — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 12:40:03 +0000

Hyggelig å høre! Jeg driver å kopierer lyrer fra en håndfull kilder fra ca. 1100–1300. (Strengt tatt ikke kopier, men kanskje bedre «frie rekonstruksjoner» eller «typemodeller»). Den mest kjente er den fra Hylestadportalen, men det finnes noen andre også, for eksempel avbildningen på døpefont i kleberstein fra Norum kirke, Bohuslän, som er grunnlaget for lyra på videoen. Jeg har noen bestillinger, men ingen planer om masseproduksjon, tviler på at det er marked for det. Men uansett takk for tips om rumenske instrumentmakere!
