Lyre Harp 16 Strings: Solid Mahogany Wooden Body Metal Strings Musical Instrument - Accessory with Tuning Wrench and Durable Gig Bag

I really love this lyre. It's easy to tune. I use the G strings app to help me tune it. At first the lyre gets out of tune really fast and you have to tune it a lot, but after it gets "broken in" it stays tuned a lot longer. The lyre is beautiful and seems to be good quality, especially for the price. It's very fun to just sit down and pluck out a tune. If you have some musical background it will be very easy to pick it up. If you have no musical background it's still an easy instrument to learn and anyone can have fun playing around with it. It's makes a great first instrument or instrument to teach yourself. One thing to note about lyres is that they are a limited instrument. You cannot play flats or sharps with it (unless you tune the strings you need to be flat or sharp, but you can't play accidentals with it), so you're limited to C major or A minor. I do find that the 16 strings is plenty and I haven't really run into the need for more strings for any song I've tried to play. It comes with a tuning wrench, picks, extra strings, a little book with some simple songs to play, and a really nice zippered carrying case with a strap. It also comes in a very nice sturdy box that can be used to store it. I bought a ukulele stand to display it on top of my piano and not only does it look beautiful there, it makes a great conversation piece.

Really cool instrument. Item was a gift for my son. He loves it and it challenges him . Great for music lovers and people that are interested in different types and styles of music as well as history.

I just love this 16 string Lyre. This was easy to tune and I am enjoying my time learning how to play it.

This is a wonderful 16 string lyre, tuned to the key of C, which gives you A minor as well. I allowed it to acclimate to our house temperature before tuning it. It was easier for me to use the piano, though I also have a tuner. Micro tuning is the name of the game, tiny gestures, and patience. The tone of this instrument is wonderful. I need lots of practice, but am enjoying the learning process. It was a great price. The color is a beautiful teal, and the designs on it are lovely. One complaint is that my tuner lacked a wooden handle.

I love learning to play this harp. The only downside is it gets out of tune very easily and os difficult for me to get back in tune

Honestly this product was just ok and it didn’t take long to break a string. Luckily it came with a replacement string.

Thank you for the item.Sturdy Lyre and beautiful sound. Fast shipping also.

If I could give this harp 10 stars I would. The craftsman and sound for the price is by far the best I have seen. This is a Winner!
