This paper proposes considerations with regard to early Slavic lyres of the Middle Ages – the so-called lyre-shaped gusli of the 11-13th centuries. Three archaeological specimens are studied discovered in Poland (Gdańsk), Ukraine (Zvenigorod) and Russia (Novgorod). Zvenigorod’s instrument (the first third of the XII century) is more than a century older than Gdansk’s one (the third quarter of the 13th century). Polish and Ukrainian instruments have approximately the same shape of the structure’s upper part. Based on the fragment of the Zvenigorod’s gusli upper part the author managed to reconstruct their appearance, approximate dimensions and supposed appearance of missing parts. I believe that Zvenigorod’s instrument is structurally closer to Gdańsk’s gusli compared to the Novgorod’s one. Fixation of the strings lower ends in Polish and, presumably, Ukrainian instruments, is based on the principle of a more archaic movable lock, in contrast to the immovable one in Novgorod’s instrument. The territorial features of individual structural parts and their decor indicate local differences in the structure and symbolism of instruments in the Slavic Middle Ages of 11-13th centuries reflecting the local specificity of the Slavs’ world outlook.
