Is that a lyra ? I would say yes , it looks like the instruments used by
russian and ukranian " lynikis " from old photos .
May I remind you that most lirnikis died in the Stalin period .
The instrument is also similar to the one in Boston fine arts museum
that was labelled as french in 1995 , I do not know if the label has been
changed .
Do you notice that the tangents are in a very extreme position ?

It looks like a Lyra. Vinogradov also plays Rylia, but that has a
different shape. I wonder whether this one is pentatonic? The keys are
spaced so far apart. They are not quite equal, the keys nearer to the
wheel are closer together, but also, the tangents are offset by quite a
bit.
