So I asked this question in the old forum also but didn`t get an answer that satisfied my needs. But now there are some new people around. Does anyone know a website from where I could buy a Cretan Lyra? Or a manufacturer from where I could order one? I am fascinated by the sounds made by that little violin-like instrument and I really want to learn to play it (yeah, I know it's really hard, but this is one of the things I really want to do).

I think you would have to take a trip to Crete....Its a nice island. You will like it there, and it shouldnt me that much of an airticket.
Or...
You can always try Ebay...

yes...best bet is to go to Crete. It shouldnt be that far from romania if you take a plane. Go for vacations and grab one while your there...

Well, I was in Crete a few years ago. I was amazed by that instrument and it's sounds but I didn`t buy one. I didn`t think of buying one at that time. It's just when I arrived home in Romania and listened to a CD with cretan music I bought from there I said to myself "I REALLY WANT to learn to play this lyra". I know, I was a moron for not buying one.
