    date QS:P,+1830-00-00T00:00:00Z/9,P1480,Q5727902
    ). [1992.117.1, .2] Harpo-lyre. Mirecourt, France.
    "​ Maker: André Augustin Chevrier (French, Mirecourt active 1820–1842 Brussels) ",
    "​ Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings: Marking: (stamped) “A.A. Chevrier/Luthier” ",
    "​ [Description] This three-necked instrument features a central neck tuned like a conventional guitar (E-A-d-g-b-e'), plus a neck on the left tuned chromatically (A-B flat-B-c-d flat-d-e flat) and one on the right tuned diatonically (c'-d'-e'-f'-g'-a'-b'-c2). The back and sides are of figured walnut. Ormolu (mercury-gilded brass) mounts decorate the yoke of the guitar. "

    date QS:P,+1805-00-00T00:00:00Z/9,P1480,Q5727902
    ). [1998.121] Lyre Guitar. Paris, France.
    "​ Maker: Possibly Joseph Pons (French, born 1776) (probably a son of César Pons) ",
    "​ Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings: Marking: (printed label within ornamental border) “Pons, fils/luthier,/Rue du Grand Hurleur/No. 5/A Paris, an 13.”; (stamped on front of pegbox and on soundboard just below fingerboard) “Pons fils/à Paris” ",
    "​ [Description] This form of the guitar was created about 1785. The columnar arms supporting the yoke are veneered in mahogany. The guitar has six single courses of strings. A printed label inside the instrument reads: “Pons / fils / luthier, / Rue du Grand Hurleur / No. 5 / A Paris, an 13.” The phrase “an 13” refers to the thirteenth year (1804–1805) of the French Revolutionary Calendar. ",
    "​Renaissance paintings by Lorenzo Costa and Raffaellino Garbo show lyre-guitars held upright (possibly interpretations of incised strings in classical bas-reliefs), as they were properly held by the player. Essentially, the lyre-guitar was a modified version of the lyre of antiquity, but with a fingerboard and six strings. English lyre-guitars were sold from 1811 as the six-string "Apollo" lyre of Edward Light and the twelve-string "Imperyal Lyre" of Angelo Benedetto Ventura. "
