Abstract

The old reconstruction, widely publicized and discussed by specialists, has been on exhibition in the British Museum since 1949. It is now replaced by the new reconstruction (PL. I). The change of this very early stringed instrument, the earliest reconstructible stringed instrument in Europe, from harp to lyre, is of great archaeological and musicological interest.
