Get a mandolin.

that's not a lyre or a harp

>>130467378
So your interest in the lyre is performative and not out of genuine passion and curiosity, like I suspected?

>>130467402
no, the interest is in the harp or lyre, not a mandolin.

You really don't think running a marathon would be beneficial to pursue a half-assed "interest" in hiking?

>lyre
Anon that is probably the most useless instrument

>>130467450
Fuck off with these attempted gotcha's, anon. OP is undoubtedly and invariably a fag, but you are dangerously close to out-fagging him.

>>130467516
Yet I'm so far away from out-fagging (you).

>>130467450
the point is that it's not comparable. I know marathon runners who don't like hiking and hikers who wouldn't even run a 5k. people are drawn to different things for different reasons. a mandolin doesn't have the same character as a harp or lyre, even if there is some overlap it's not really what I'm looking for. plus a mandolin costs just as much as a lyre. I'm just not sure if it's something I would stick with because I don't have much musical education. it's just that the financial barrier to entry for any further musical learning is rather high regardless of which instrument one chooses, and so I was wondering if, relative to other instruments, I might find the lyre easier to pick up bc I already find that I enjoy how it sounds. forcing myself to pursue an instrument I'm not fond of feels like it would just sour learning to play an instrument generally
why even suggest a mandolin in the first place?
