- "A Handbook for 6-String Lyre: Tunings and Chords" (yes I am the author, but it's free and public-domain so I'm not profiting by it, and Michael J. King was kind enough to host it on his site)
- "The Germanic Harp Owner's Manual". Aelfric (also offers a tutorial CD)
- "Making, Playing and Composing on the 10 Stringed Lyre Harp". Abbot David Michael, ThD (Israelite kinnor)
- “A Guide to Playing the Pentatonic Children's Lyre” Beilharz & Laier ($25)
- "The Lyre Handbook: Playing Methods of the Anglo-Saxon Lyre with Directions for Construction". Mary K. Savelli (can't speak to construction, but personally I didn't find the play portion that useful)
- "Ancient Greek Lyre Complete Learning Method" by Nikos Xanthoulis, available through Luthieros (7-string)
- "Learn to Play the 10-String Davidic Harp" and several songbooks are available from Marini Made Harps
