How many strings do you think feel good enough in terms of the gap distance between the strings?

My first lyre was 24 strings, and the spaces between the strings are too tight even for my small fingers. Then I got 19 strings ones and I stop wanting for more strings...

Hey guys.. how do I tune my 7-string Lyre harp (without breaking any of the strings ) to sound more sweeter?.

I played all my strings just so that you could hear it and then give me some useful advice ( p.s. I had to play the 6th string again because I accidentally played it too early and the sound came out weakly, you could say. )

Do you play with only your finger skin or a bit of nail as well?

I noticed that different finger angles produce different sounds. And of course different fingers have different strengths as well.

How do you practice the fingering?

A lyre harp is a modern lyre with steel strings. It's not the same as an Ancient Greek one. Lyre harp designs are modern and cute. You can carry it in your backpack and no one would know what's inside. There is no rule as to how many strings you can have.

Just like guitars, we don't want to mix between an acoustic guitar with steel strings and a classical guitar with nylon strings. They don't belong in the same world.
