The KORA &
LYRA
1.Kora - handling
Explore the KORA and LYRA: touch and
pluck the strings, resonating soundboxes, neck and decoration.
How do you hold the KORA? Observe the
hand grips.
Compare the sitting position of these
two KORA- & LYRA explorers on the picture with the fully
illustrated explication on the 
KORA&LYRA-page
(Ethnic Instrumental
Pages).
2.Tuning
Observe and count the strings. Listen to the tuning notes
of all strings. How do you tune the strings of the KORA?
What's your personal tuning? Tell your friend or tutor.
Read about the KORA technology and look carefully at the schedule
on the Instrumental KORA
-page (< click). If possible, check
your experience with the tuning of violin strings or acoustical
guitar.
3. In tune: dialogue.
Remember the right position. Let the KORA communicate with
the double neck - LYRA.
