“If you can remember why you started, then you will know why you must continue.” ― Chris Burkmenn

A throwback from LUTHIEROS and Michael Levy's earlier phase, when our collaboration began to grow back in 2015!
Michael Levy, one of the most famous lyre players around the world, performs an improvisation of his own on a LUTHIEROS Kithara of the Golden Age, specially handcrafted for him by Master Luthier Anastasios.
Video shootings took place near Ancient Europos (Greece), where the LUTHIEROS workshop is located. Michael visited Greece back in 2015, invited by Koumartzis family, so this video is a glimpse from the past of LUTHIEROS endeavor.

“Solon of Athens heard his nephew sing a song of Sappho’s over the wine and, since he liked the song so much, he asked the boy to teach it to him. When someone asked him why, he said: ‘So that I may learn it, then die.’ “ - Florilegium (3.29.58) of Stobaeus

// Kithara of the Golden Age
Ancient Kithara was an advanced musical instrument of Classical Greece used mainly by professional musicians. Kithara (Latin: cithara) was used in competitions and public performances, including recitations of epic poetry, rhapsodies, odes, lyric songs, et cetera.
It bears an advanced spring mechanism that enables the kithara to produce vibrato/tremolo and portamento, giving kithara players the ability to add expression to their music, to use sharps and flats, to allow every version of the diatonic scale to start at any point on the chromatic scale, etc.

LUTHIEROS Kithara of the Golden Age has 7 strings, and it is ideal for anyone willing to awe his audience and demonstrate how advanced ancient musical instrument could be. Whatsmore, it is perfect for anyone willing to learn how to play it, as many top-players and instructors use 7-strings instruments for their courses.
A 9-strings version is also available, giving a chromatic range of a full octave. With the use of harmonics and other advanced playing techniques, a kithara can produce three to four full octaves, including sharps and flats!
