I will Always Love You: Tribute to Dolly Parton

Posted on October 1, 2026 by Dr. Crystal Grimes

The legendary Dolly Parton passed away on August 25, 2026. I wanted to post this tribute earlier, but I also wanted it to be the first piece I recorded on my new double wire strung lyre, Alchemy. So, I had to wait, but today is the day. I hope you enjoy Dolly Parton‘s iconic song, I will Always Love You, played on double strung lyre.

19-string acoustic lyre.

Double strung played on 2 19-string acoustic lyres. This is the last double strung arrangement I will have to play on 2 lyres. It’s been a good experiment, with 160 pieces over 140 posts, but my real double strung lyre will be arriving soon! So, if there is a little break in posts, that’s why. Sooner or later, the new double strung will become my only instrument. I’m very excited!
