ATHENS 2004 OLYMPIC GAMES. COMPLETE SET OF 6 PINS DEPICTING ANCIENT GREEK MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
The Oud
is a pear-shaped stringed instrument commonly used Greek music. The oud is readily distinguished by its lack of frets and small neck. It is considered an ancestor of the guitar.
The Baglamas
is a plucked string instrument used in Greek music. The body is often hollowed out from a piece of wood or made from a gourd, but there are also baglamas with staved backs. Its small size made it particularly popular with musicians who needed an instrument transportable enough to carry around easily or small enough to shelter under a coat.
The Lyre
is a string instrument known for its use in Greek classical antiquity and later. The earliest picture of a lyre with seven strings appears in the famous sarcophagus of Hagia Triada (a Minoan settlement in Crete). The sarcophagus was used during the Mycenaean occupation of Crete (1400 BC. The recitations of the Ancient Greeks were accompanied by lyre playing. The lyre of classical antiquity was ordinarily played by being strummed with a plectrum, like a guitar or a zither, rather than being plucked, like a harp. The fingers of the free hand silenced the unwanted strings in the chord. The lyre is similar in appearance to a small harp but with distinct differences.
