Some goobers in Scandinavia have tried to reconstruct
Viking music on CD's. Doubtless someone knows who they
are - it's been too long since I saw their CD's somewhere.

Thora Sharptooth has an article on making a Sutton Hoo
style lyre on her pages and her husband Dof had/or has
an email group devoted to teaching how to play the thing.

I'm tone deaf and can't tune anything however much I
would like to. Low tone hearing loss.  I have the
articles on the Sutton Hoo Lyre but have yet to finish
the harp I started long ago. From what I have seen in
my various books I don't think the lyres changed too
much over time. You see them in all sorts of early
medieval sculpture and illuminations.
