Sounded like the sunshine.
This happened after watching the excellent lecture of Bernstein on Impressionism .
A scale close to D E F# G# A# C D was used.
This gave the useful property of the scale ending on the same note it starts on the 7 string Lyre.
Then everything was raised a semitone. The strings were further stretched and sounded much more harmonic.
The high D sounded shinny. The C not so, it was felt to be less stretched suggesting the use of a larger diameter string for proper scaling.
It would be nice to have many lyres tuned to a whole tone scale, or using one lyre and an echo of a few seconds to make a canon...
