History & Musical Heritage The lyre harp has deep historical roots dating back to the early Middle Ages in Eastern Europe, where it emerged as a Jewish folk instrument. Traditionally played by Jewish troubadours known as Klezmorim, it was commonly used at weddings and celebratory gatherings. Over time, Klezmer music blended with Slavonic, Greek, Turkish, Gypsy, and even American jazz influences, creating a rich and expressive musical tradition.
