P FOR PONTIC LYRA

kev

The Pontic lyra (or kemenche) is a 3 stringed musical instrument played primarily by those living in the historic Pontus region of north eastern Turkey and those who reside in the northern parts of Greece who originated from there. It is also known as the Pontian lyra, Pontic fiddle or kemençe (kemenche). It is without doubt the musical instrument that defines Pontic culture, and has a very distinct melody unlike any other instrument. 
The Pontic lyra comprises a narrow box shaped body which includes a neck and a pegbox, and a soundboard which covers the body. The body is either made by hollowing out a single piece of wood, or by gluing pieces together. The best lyra are said to be made of extremely dense wood such as plum, mulberry and walnut. Cedar is sometimes used. The soundboard is made of pine or spruce.
