The Arched Lyre is one of the main musical instruments of the Ita Thao. Many of tribe members can play the instrument. During important festivals or during the intervals of farm works, people come together to play the music in harmony.

The Arched Lyre is made with bamboo and copper wires. First of all, cut one side of the bamboo to make a long and slender shape. Second, leave the other side in the shape of a pipe of about 8 to 10 centimeters long to be the "sound box." Finally, fasten the copper wires to both sides, and an Arched Lyre is completed.

弓琴
弓琴曾是伊達邵的重要樂器，大部份的族人，也能夠用弓琴來演奏音樂。在重要祭儀、或是農閒餘暇時，族人聚在一起，有人吹奏口簧、有人口中銜著弓琴吹奏音樂，其樂融融。

弓琴是採用竹子和銅線為材料，把竹片的上端削薄成一細長狀，另一端留下約八至十公分的竹管，當做鳴箱，然後把銅線繫在兩端為弦製成。
