A spontaneous improvisation for recreated ancient Greek kithara - the lyre of the professional musicians of classical antiquity, recreated in modern Greece by Luthieros:

This improvisation hopefully demonstrates, how even with just 9 strings (the average number of strings on the ancient Greek kithara ranged from between 7-12 strings), the range of the kithara can easily be extended by use of harmonics and how just like a guitar (whose name is actually derived from 'kithara'!), rhythmic harmonies can be strummed across the strings - in the case of the kithara, those strings not desired to be strummed are blocked by fingers of the left hand whilst those strings desired to be sounded are strummed with a plectrum in the right hand.
My recreated kithara has unpolished gut strings, whose warm timbre and crispness of attack would be very similar in quality to the strings available to the professional musicians of ancient Greece, some 2,500 or so years ago.
