Yes, an extremely interesting find. Mind, however, that only the bridge is from Isle of Skye. The lyre, played by Graeme Lawson in this video clip, is something else. (It is probably a replica or type model of one of the Anglo-Saxon lyre finds.) I don’t know if there exist any detailed drawings of the bridge, apart from the video and photos. Neither do I know how far they have come with the publication of the find – I mean apart from the news releases from BBC etc. Sorry, this is all I know about this. Good luck with your work!
Best wishes,
Gjermund

I do Viking re enactment, and am at present making a 6th century lyre found in the black forest. I would far rather have made this instrument instead. Is there plans for this instrument? Where can I get them from please. I look forward to hearing from you
