The Anglo-Saxon lyre was once used to accompany poetry throughout England. Unfortunately, it faded from favor after the harp gained popularity in the 9th and 10th centuries. Few records were left about its construction and playing techniques. The Lyre Handbook combines information from a variety of sources to help the musician or historian who is new to the lyre. It includes instructions for constructing a basic lyre and two methods of playing are taught with drills and simple songs. This booklet also contains a bibliography that can help you with further research. With this booklet, you can be one of the people rediscovering the lyre.

Hard to find Books teaching how to play the Lyre

My son-in-law really likes this book as he is able to learn the lyre. It is very hard to find anything about actually playing this ancient instrument.

Haven't used it yet, but it is extremely thin. I hope I can get enough info from it to be useful to actually attempt playing.
