Definition edit
There is presently no definition of the so-called "lyre family", and the instruments categorized here don't all match the definition of a Lyre as described in Lyre ; they often have nothing in common except that they are stringed instruments and that they are called "Lyre" in some langages, but they do not constitute a instrument family in the proper sense. In music books, there is no family instrument described as "lyre family", except the instruments related to the Ancient Greek Lyre, so the categorization should concern only these instruments (Barbiton, Chelys, etc).--Phso2 (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
