DEG Flutist Friend Marching Lyre

Light weight.Comfortable.Good quality.You can add more sheets if needed.

Works just as advertised. Well made

My daughter was in a Memorial Day parade playing flute and this Lyre was perfect!! It adjusts easily to fit any size arm and was light weight! Great item.

This lyre/folio unit was purchased for a special application. My euphonium's lyre receiver was damaged by a previous owner, so I was trying this lyre-alternative. The unit attaches easily and securely to your left arm near the elbow with comfortably adjustable commonly-available elastic (included). I cannot say whether this position works well for a flutist or not; it works only marginally for euphoniumist. The left arm position for an upright, top-action, compensating euphonium is too low and off to the left to make this an ideal solution; you lose your forward- and right-vision for marching alignment while playing. The hard plastic folio backing rotates to hold the music perpendicular to your vision, and that rotation can be locked quite securely by tightening the wingnut. The unit includes five two-sided folio pages; additional pages are readily available and can be added to the two plastic ring easily. One of the nicest features of this unit is a metal clip that holds both the front and back folio pages to the hard plastic backing. Between numbers, you can move to the next piece easily and secure all the folio pages. The pressure of this clip also ensures that no music sheets will slip out the sides of the folio pages! What would make this lyre perfect for me would be if the backing had an extension piece to raise the folio higher up from my arm.

Product matches the description and is a great buy. Item great quality!

Working great.

We needed a quick replacement and didn't have time to run to the music store. This was exactly what we needed for this year's marching band season. The wrist straps are well made and the page covers are good quality

This is great for marching season for flute players. This is actually the second one. I think the first one held up well - it lasted two years and took a lot of abuse.
