“And Phoebus Apollo laughed for joy; for the sweet throb of the marvellous music went to his heart, and a soft longing took hold on his soul as he listened.” - Homeric Hymn to Hermes, line 414-435

If you ever thought of having a unique ancient artefact in your home or even learn how to play an ancient music instrument, then you never had an opportunity like this before... This listing is for a replica of the ancient Greek harp like lyre invented by the poet Ibycus.

Manufactured at the premises of the ancient Europos (Northern Greece) by a family of musicians and luthiers, the "Ancient Sambuca" is made of (and only) natural materials available during the antiquity. This ancient artefact is evolved to become a modern music instrument ready to be used by music students and teachers (for example, a modern tuning method was chosen instead of the ancient hard-to-use one). For all the minor (but very important) alterations, latest technologies were used during the prototyping phase (such as 3d Scanning and 3d Modeling).

Sambuca was considered to be an erotic stringed instrument (of Asiatic origin) that was used during symposiums and orgiastic worships. It was probably invented by the poet Ibycus (6th B.C.), and first played by a wandering woman called Sibyl. Sambuca consisted of an actual tortoise shell as a soundbox (or a wooden resonator made to look like a tortoise shell) and a wooden arm (or made by animal horn).
