The Cretan Lyra and Stagakis manufacturing store of musical instruments are not simply connected but synonymous with the construction of this instrument. The current form of the Lyra was originally constructed circa 1940-45 by Manolis Stagakis but at the same time he changed its timbre. The manufacturing store of musical instruments has now passed to his son, Dimitri and to his grandson, Emmanuel,
where he worthily continue the construction of musical instruments with great respect because of the name they inherited and with expertise for over 60 years. The Lyras that 3 generations has constructed and the performance precision of the sound produced by their crystal tone has made the greatest Cretan artists and the amateurs too to prefer us for over 65 years.
