"give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy." Psalm 33:2-3

It is like a instrument of semetic people!

I think you are quite right - consider the ancient Greek "Kithara"...it is virtually identical to the ancient Jewish Kinnor - even the names are similar! Also, consider the "Krar" lyre of East Africa, still played today - the similarity in the sound of these names, to me, certainly at the very least, IMPLIES an ancient link to the Semitic Kinnor, which probably predates these ancient Greek and African lyres by a few thousand years...
hey thanks for the warm welcoming of Eritreans..
look at my Eritrean war of independence video, you will hear a different instrument the krar that sounds and looks more similar to that of yours

It was absolutely fascinating to see just how similar the Krar is to this reconstruction of the ancient Hebrew Kinnor - even the names of these lyres are similar! I'm certain there must have beem some amazing musical cross-cultural influences going on, way back in ancient times, just as there is today...

this would be awesome with that Moskowitz guy on cymbalum or whatever it is.... Abe Schwartz version of this Odessa Bulgar is sure haunting.... "King Davids' Lyre" is on my shopping list!!

Hi! My boyfriend does I think, how does it work, can you just send me a mail to my youtube account? plus he would like to know about the lost music of the jew/gipsy fusion... he wanted to ask if you have any books, documents regarding that subject. Thanks!
