AGP #488 – “Gum ‘n’ Oak”
5 String Lyre
Scale: 19 inches
Strings: .018PS .016PS .013PS .012PS 0.11PS
Tuned: D E G A B
The Box Sides and Bridge are Forest Red Gum, the Box Ends are Yellow Gum and the Bottom and Top Pieces are Red Oak & Poplar 7 mm Plywood.
The Bridge is a piece of 26 x 12mm Tasmanian Oak Moulding Tri Quad with Nickel Fretwire, all timber is its natural colour, coated with Blond Shellac.
The Piano Tuners are from an old $30 recycled Piano I purchased many years ago.
The little Chrome Resonator Cone was a 50 Cent Charity Shop purchase, and a 9.3k Open Humbucker is hard wired to the Output Jack. :-)

"YEP! UJ", still have quite a few Piano Tuners left, along with some Ebony Piano Keys, the Mahogany Veneered Tulip Poplar Piano Lids, and lots of various types of timber offcuts etc., just about to start a 7 String Nordic Type Lyre/Kravik Build, which will contain a lot of the Good Ole $30 Piano I bought back in 2013. :-)
I think you have just about gotten your money's worth from that old piano, It became many instruments and quite a few types.
