Hi, Weasel -
Yes, I'd be glad to post a photo if you send it to me at joe@mudcat.org (I also post MIDI files and mp3s that are pertinent to discussions).

My impression from Wikipedia is that the strings on an ancient Greek lyrics that were not needed in a chord, were muted with the fingers of one hand, while the other hand strummed the strings with a plectrum. I always thought that the strings of a lyre were plucked, eliminating the need for muting unused strings.

But the lyre was abandoned when Italy adopted the Euro, right?
