Sounds like a small harp

The lyre is a very easy-to-play plucked instrument in diatonic or pentatonic tuning. It sounds like a small harp, its sound is delicate and quiet. The lyre consists of an oval frame, the lower half of which is a closed resonance body and the upper half is open. To play, you hold it in your arm or put the instrument on your lap.

The lyre is well suited for free music making and discovering your own melodies. Like the kalimba, the lyre is also well suited for storytellers

FAQ

Is there a warranty on the instruments?

Yes, we offer a 3-year warranty on all instruments. However, damage is so rare that we still offer free repairs later on if the fault is ours.

What is the difference between Premium and Standard interface?

The premium finish is oiled three to four times, sanded, and polished. This makes it even more robust, giving it a very smooth surface and a slightly stronger shine. We recommend this treatment to anyone who plans to transport the instrument frequently.
The standard surface is only oiled and polished once, but still has absolutely sufficient, long-lasting protection and a beautiful, smooth surface.

Why are shipping costs not included?

Since we ship all instruments worldwide, and shipping costs vary greatly depending on the country, we cannot generally include shipping costs in the basic price of the instruments.

Are the instruments insured during shipping?

Yes, we insure the instruments and take care of any damage. If your shipment arrives damaged, please immediately send us a photo of the box and the damage to the instrument.
