10-String16" x 8"Light FinishBiblical TuningBest Seller
Ideal for: Worship music, prayer, biblical studies, and anyone drawn to the sound of King David's harp
A pocket-sized lyre inspired by King David's biblical harp.
The Kinnor is the harp of the Hebrew Bible, the instrument King David is said to have played. This Mini Kinnor brings that ancient sound into a 16-by-8-inch package small enough to take anywhere. Ten DuPont nylon strings tuned to the biblical scale, a light-finished frame, and an ash soundboard give it a clear, contemplative voice that suits prayer, meditation, and study.
Clear, Contemplative Tone
Ten DuPont hard nylon strings paired with a light-finished frame and ash soundboard produce a clear, gentle voice. The biblical tuning gives the Mini Kinnor a distinctive modal character that sets it apart from standard Western diatonic instruments.
Inspirational tuning: Because the Kinnor is a biblical instrument, many players use what's called "inspirational tuning" — finding the notes that move you, rather than locking to a strict modern key.
Light-Finished Frame, Ash Soundboard
The frame is built with a light, natural finish that lets the wood grain show through. The ash soundboard is responsive and resonant, well suited to the gentle plucking style the Kinnor was designed for.
At 16 by 8 inches and roughly a pound, the Mini Kinnor travels easily. It fits in a backpack, a desk drawer, or a meditation space.
About the form: The Kinnor's lyre-style frame dates back over 3,000 years. It is one of the oldest documented stringed instruments in human history.
Pluck and Listen
Hold the Kinnor on your lap or in front of you and pluck the strings with your fingers. There are no levers, no frets, and no complicated technique to learn. Most players settle into a tuning that resonates with them and use the instrument for unstructured, meditative play.
Ten strings, infinite ways to tune: Pentatonic scales, modal tunings, and traditional Hebrew tunings all work. The Mini Kinnor accommodates G-Major or A-Major pentatonic comfortably.
