Lyre Harp, 21 Strings Mahogany Acoustic Harp with Extra Strings, Picks, Tuning Lever, Black Gig Bag, Beginner's Manual for Lyre

Yes, I think your strings were put on wrong. The strings are in the wrong order. Lyres need to be strung in different order depending on which "direction" your lyre is built. This is the model I have: https://www.amazon.com/AKLOT-Strings-Saddle-Mahogany-Carved/dp/B089W5X8D6My Aklot lyre is built "low left - high right" direction. That means the low notes go on the left, and the high notes go on the right. So the thick bronze-color strings go on the left, and the thin silver strings go on the right side. Thick bronze strings are for low notes (large gauge). Thin silver strings are for high notes (small gauge). This lyre is the same direction as yours: https://www.amazon.com/Strings-Mahogany-Acoustic-Tuning-Beginners/dp/B0BQJ1HHT6?xpid=3oQZHSQ1GCD8LThis lyre is built "high left - low right" direction. That means the high notes are on the left, and the low notes are on the right.Your lyre is a "high left - low right" direction, so you need to put the strings on the same way as this lyre.Your lyre model is a different direction from the most common lyres, so be careful watching online videos because the advice will be wrong. You need to do it opposite direction. Also, the strings are the wrong way in the pegs. Yours looks like a "q" shape, it needs to be a "p" shape. Doing that the wrong direction will also sound bad.
