	Oskar Heil Kithara Loudspeaker Review By Wayne Donnelly
		Kithara is the name of an ancient Greek stringed instrument, somewhat resembling a lyre.
		The Kithara is a moderately sized two-way floorstanding loudspeaker measuring approximately 16 by 16 inches square and 44 inches high.
		I spent a couple of weeks playing the Kitharas at highish levels, with the loudspeaker terminals jumpers in place and a single set of loudspeaker cables, in order to break in the woofer, which initially sounded somewhat tight and slow.

	"The Evolution of Ancient Greek Music in Byzantium"
		The kithara is a seven-stringed instrument, although the number of strings could vary, possibly made of wood with a crossbar that has knobs and kollopes.
		Based on the paintings of the kithara on vases, the kithara was performed by a highly trained professional male musician who was most often a mortal and not a god.
		The kithara with auloi were probably used in the accompaniment of the victory odes or poetry for winners of atheletic contests.

		Una piccola sezione di lastra bronzea che molto probabilmente appartiene a un modello in miniatura di kithara votiva.
		The kithara also had a crossbar, which joined the two arms in the upper part, as well as possibly seven strings,which were attached to the crossbar above and to the tailpiece, the device ficsed into the small hole in the lower part of the sound-box.
		The discovery of the little votive kithara in the area of Aetos, from which a bronze statuette of Apollo with lyre also comes, help in identifying the architecturall reminds brought to light in excavations there as a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo, god the light and order, as well as of music, poetry and dance.

	Kithara (performance lyre) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The kithara was a large performance lyre, a stringed instrument which the performer held in the left hand, and strummed with the right.
		The left hand probably did not "stop" the strings in the manner of a modern guitar, but more likely was used to pull away strings which were not to sound when strumming.
		Though famously of seven strings (the "seven-tone lyre") in the archaic and classical periods, the performance kithara could have 11 or 12 strings by the Roman era, a practice which probably began as early as the fourth century B.C.

	Phorminx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phorminx (in Ancient Greek φόρμιγξ) was one of the oldest of the Ancient Greek stringed musical instruments, intermediate between the lyre and the kithara.
		While it seems to have been common in Homer's day, accompanying the rhapsodes, it was supplanted in historical times by the seven-stringed kithara.
		Nevertheless, the term phorminx continued to be used as an archaism in poetry.

		The kithara, an instrument of the lyre family, had seven strings of equal length and a solidly built, wooden body, usually with a flat base.
		Strings of gut or sinew were stretched from a holder at the base of the instrument over a bridge to the crossbar that joined the two sidepieces.
		The kithara is known primarily from written sources and from images on fl- and red-figure pottery, such as the

	Heil Kithara Enjoy The Music Review
		The manufacturer claims that the overall sensitivity of the Kithara is 94 dB/w/m, which means that it does not demand a lot to drive it.
		Claudio Abbado gives another demonstration of the Kithara's ability to handle the orchestra and the strings in particular, as he conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in Johannes Brahms's symphonies and coral works with orchestra [Deutsche Grammophon, 435 683-2].
		This cd gives you lots of complex, mingled sonic textures and the Kitharas gives them to you, no additions, no subtractions, every instrument working on its own and with the others.

		Turns out that Cooper and Kithara are "astrological twins," being born in the same town (Everett, Washington), on the same day in the same year.
		Most of the time, Cooper's soprano sax and Kithara's kalimba duo, although here and there one or the other flies solo (such as on the kalimba number, "Solitude," which is surprisingly - given its title - uptempo and cheery).
		Cooper's sax is plaintive and quite minimal as his notes hang suspended or rebound high in the upper caverns of that reverberation chamber, while Kithara's kalimba is somewhat minimal, serving more as tonal accompaniment to both the sax and the crickets, frogs, and other creatures of the night.

	Kithara
		The kithara eluded the ban in the early Church against instrumental music - it was used to accompany psalms.
		It has no neck, which is replaced by two hollowed out arms, rising vertically from the wooden soundbox, which are crossed by a yoke near the upper extremeties, to which strings are attached and tuned with wooden bars and strips of leather.
		A typical kithara is shown on a fl-figure vase painting in the British Museum (Ref. B.147) of Apollo Kitharoedos, on which this kithara is based.

		The Kithara was the premier musical instrument of ancient Rome and was played both in popular music and in serious forms of music.
		Larger and heavier than a lyre, the kithara was a loud, sweet, and piercing instrument with precision tuning ability.
		From Kithara comes our word guitar, and though the guitar more directly evolved from the lute, the same mystique surrounds the guitar idols of today as it did for the virtuoso kithara players, the citharista, and popular singers of ancient Rome.

	UHF 59 - Review of the Oskar Kithara speaker
		We wish the Kithara came with spikes, as most high end speakers do, but we should add that the woofer, because of its vertical position, will tend to move the speaker up and down rather than forward and back.
		The tweeter itself looks hand-made, and in fact it is. The Kithara looks much better with its two cloth grilles on, and the woodwork is strikingly handsome.
		These speakers are both too large and too heavy to go into the superb but small room where our Alpha system is located, and so we did the review in the Omega system, where we had plenty of room to play with.

	A Brief History of the Guitar
		The influence in the opposite direction is undeniable, however - the guitar's immediate forefathers were a major influence on the development of the fretted lute from the unfretted oud which the Moors took to Spain.
		The sole "evidence" for the kithara theory is the similarity between the greek word "kithara" and the Spanish word "quitarra".
		Kasha turns the question around and asks where the Greeks got the name "kithara", and points out that the earliest Greek kitharas had only 4 strings when they were introduced from abroad.

		Californian composer Harry Partch began to adapt guitars and violas, going even further to invent a variety of instruments for his music that had never before existed, like his "surrogate kithara".
		This is how the classical instruments have evolved, from kithara to guitar, from lyre to lute.
		Replacing a musical system that has taken thousands of years to evolve is not done on a whim.
