Recreating the Music of the Ancient World...
About Me:
 
BACKGROUND

I am originally a self-taught Klezmer fiddle player (hence the name of my Youtube Channel!), but in 2006, I discovered how to play a replica of the 3000 year old Biblical "KInnor" - the actual Lyre of my Levite Ancestors - once played in the Temple of Jerusalem, to accompany the singing of the Levitical Choir...now THAT'S what I call "Roots Music" !!!

I have never seen this instrument before, very intriguing.

I just bought your "Echoes of Ancient Rome" cd on iTunes, it sounds really neat! Any chance of possibly recording the lyre along with some reed or percussion instruments as well?

i cant tell you how much life you bring into that lyre. it'd be awesome if you could play some polish, slovenian, or croatian music. but i love what youve played so far. its very soothing. :)
