Review: An excellent beginner Lyre Harp - I am a beginner Lyre Harp player and have been playing this lyre for about 6 weeks. I did quite a bit of research and chose this lyre based on price and reviews and have not been disappointed. However, it is important for me to separate my beginner joy of playing the lyre from my satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) of this particular lyre since this is a review of the lyre (not lyre playing). Duh!. As far as this particular lyre is concerned, I give it 5 stars for price, appearance and the accessories that were included and 4 stars for craftsmanship and ease of use. Let me elaborate. I thought the price was very reasonable for a quality beginner instrument that looks very nice. I have it displayed with my guitars and it looks equal in quality. As far as accessories, I would expect a tuner (which is included) but what surprised me was the electronic pickup which provided very good sound quality on my Fender amp. I have also used it with one of the inexpensive mini amps and it works fine. The reason for the 4 stars on craftsmanship is because I have 1 loose peg (meaning it turns much easier than the others and tends to de-tune easier) and 1 peg that is very slightly tilted, which makes it prone to string rattle. Neither of these problems affect my playing measurably and I still consider it a quality instrument, but I thought it appropriate to “ding” it in the area of craftsmanship. As far as “ease of use” I will mention as others have that if you are going to learn 2 handed playing where you are also playing from the “back”of the instrument it will be more difficult to play the low G and A strings on this Lyre due to how it is made. The low G string in particular is very difficult to reach from the back. Knowing all of this and having played it for several weeks (with my granddaughter as well) I would still purchase it and will likely purchase another if my granddaughter continues to enjoy playing it and shows interest. If I could add anything to this this instrument it would be to have the notes “stamped” into the instrument at the pegs (similar to other lyres). This is extremely helpful as a beginner and I actually used a label maker to “tape” the notes above the pegs and will likely eventually stamp them into the wood.
Review: Tuning comments - I love it. I've been unable to play my many guitars due to my hands not cooperating. This sounds great. A note for people who might benefit from tuning suggestions: 1. Don't rush to tune it the day you get it. Take it out of the box and let it set out for at least a day to get up to the "room temp" in your house. I got a wood looking stand, which is two pieces that you slot together to make a curved guitar or small instrument stand. Works perfectly on the counter. 2. When you go to tune it the first time, know that it is going to take you about an hour to do it. You want to tune it very carefully, in TINY, less than 1/32 of an inch movements. 3. The tuning it "set for" starts with the largest string, on the left, as a "G" string. So, it's: G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A 4. I put my electric tuner, DEAD CENTER of the thinnest part of the lyre, clamped on right behind the strings. 5. Put your tuning tool on the peg, holding it in your hand like you would the handle of a mug of coffee. Put your THUMB on the peg. 6. You want to tune "up" to your note, not down from past your note. NOTE: The very first time you tune the strings, they will be "falling out of tune" quickly, as they stretch to their full length. This is normal. For THAT reason, when you do your first series of tunings, once you have "hit" the note, don't worry or try to "tune it back down " if you went slightly over the perfect center mark on your tuner, into the high side. Why, because, in this FIRST TUNING session, it's going to relax and drop to the low side of the center mark on your tuner. You will fix all that at the end of tuning all the strings. You might be fixing that for a couple days, until the strings have finished stretching. 7. Start on the heavy, "wound" "G" string on the left. Make TINY, TINY, MOVEMENTS. Squeeze your hand tight on the handle of tool, while your thumb rests on the peg. You will feel imperceptible movement on the peg. You do NOT want to give it a sweeping crank. It doesn't take much, once you are in range, to go way overboard. If you crank away in big movements, it's harder to tune and you could break a string. 8. Once you feel movement, remove the tool and pluck the string to see what the tuner says to you. Put the tool back on and repeat until you get the "G" string tuned. 9. Pluck the next "A" string and tell yourself "This is "A" as you run your finger UP the string to the peg. Doing that sounds stupid, but, if you have ever been on the "wrong peg" for the string you are plucking, and you keep cranking away, because, what you pluck and what you SEE on the tuner is not going to be match right if you are plucking the 3rd string but you are cranking away on the 4th tuning peg. I learned that the hard way while tuning a 12 string guitar. 10. So, tune that "A" string, then the next "B" string, the "C" string, the "D" string, the "E, the "F" and the "G" string. If you have trouble believing your tuner, it helps to pluck the strings you have already tuned, up to the one you are working on, to "Hear" where you are. 11. You are next going to tune the first of the thin, "unwound" strings, which is an "A" string. NOTE: The "unwound", thinner, strings, will break if wound too tightly. So, if you give it a bunch of sweeping cranks, instead of imperceptible movements, that might be your result, as the thinner strings require much LESS of an adjustment before they change notes. 12. After you tune that "A" string, go back to the FIRST, heavy, "G" and gently tune your way back all those strings to that "A" string you just tuned. TINY movements, as it doesnt take much pressure to change a note at that point. NOTE: As you retune the thin strings for the SUBSEQUENT times, it takes even LESS pressure, so, be careful. 13. Tune the "B" and "C" and "D" strings. 14. Go BACK to the first string again, and gently bring all the other strings back into tune, clear up to the "D" string you just tuned. 15. Tune the "E" and "F" string. 16. Go BACK to the first string, AGAIN, and bring them all into tune. BY NOW, YOU WILL NOTICE that you ARE able to get dead center on your tuner screen, without wavering over, as the strings are stretching and holding the notes better. 17. Tune the "G" and "A" strings. 18. Go BACK to the first "G" string and adjust the tuning again. 19. Play the instrument for awhile. Then, go back and adjust the tuning again. 20. Put it away on ata stand or some manner of tablet stand, to keep it at from having the bag or anything else accidentally touching the strings, and, allow it to rest at room temp to continue its "New String" stretching. When you pick it up tomorrow, and, thereafter, you will notice that the strings are staying in tune. Remember to never CRANK on these strings. Just tightening your hand on the handle, while it's on the peg, will cause imperceptible movements. For me, I would rather tune UP to a note than go back and forth, up and down, trying to hit the note perfectly. Always go up. The reason I did this, at length, wss because I read a bunch of comments for people who got discouraged or quit trying to tune their instruments, or, thought their instrument was defective. ( I read those reviews cumulatively across all brands of lyre reviews that I read). So, I though this might help somebody with their decision to try this kind instrument.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds Great!
*by V***Y on March 26, 2026*

I just got done tuning the harp. It took a while, but I'm used to tuning guitars. I used the "insTuner" app suggested in the Manual/Instructions that came with the solid Mahogany 16 sting open Lyre harp. I appreciate the generous spacing of the strings! A beautiful crafted, nice and heavy harp compared to the hollow body Harps, and with the brass strip holding the strings the hardware is better than Most. If You've tuned a six string guitar, Imagine trying to tune a "16 string" guitar without the tuning keys, and Your Directly turning the cord stock with the wrench; this Means the tiniest rotation Makes a big difference. The nice thing about the solid/open body Lyre harp, is once You have it tuned, it plays so beautifully: and, that solid body Makes for a long tuning hold on the notes. The absence of Keys Makes the tuning a bit harder, but also keeps people from detuning it when playing with it; So, I don't Mind the kids playing with it, as they cannot detune the harp as Easily as say the guitars. Arrived unscathed, and I couldn't be happier! Thanks for offering this product!
