The originators of the Gartner Lyre:
Edmund Pracht music teacher and therapist who sought a new instrument for his work with children with special needs, and W. Lothar Gartner sculptor and instrument maker who taking up a simple sketch by his friend, created the new
instrument
In the year 1926 , the music pedagogue Edmund Pracht made suggestions to his friend, Lothar Gartner and inspired him with a simple drawing. to build a stringed instrument. It should have one string for each tone, similar to the harp, but had to be much smaller and handier. He hoped that such an instrument, with its sweet sound would appeal to his handicapped patients at the Institute for Health Pedagogy and furthermore would be easy to play. He did not think of the lyre specifically, in the historical sense. The subsequent development and multiple applications during the next decades showed that he, with his initiative, helped this ancient instrument to its never thought of renaissance. Soon it reached over curative pedagogy to be used in kindergartens, in general schooling, as instrument to create a specific mood for storytelling or puppet theatre.
Also in the care of the aged, and in the assistance to dying persons, the lyre has shown its comforting harmonious effect.
