These are my plans for a three string Jouhikko/Bowed lyre
Current tuning: (left to right)
f Bb d# with the central string the lowest pitch.
this is the same pitch as Pekko Käppi on his youtube tutor video here:
The standard tuning is half a step lower (d A e) which you can also use
These can be made from smaller pieces of wood or carved out of the solid.
These plans and the other 2 string bowed lyres and 6 string Welsh Crwth are also to be found on my 2015 Lyre Making CD (in the extras folder,)
