Overview
Lyra Harp 16 Strings Cabinet Lyre Harp with Decorative Horns 38.5 x 26 cm Mahogany Veneer String Instrument for Beginners

The lyre harp is a small string instrument that can be played by plucking with fingers or a plectrum, and is manageable even for complete beginners. This lyre has 16 strings and its tonal range is sufficient for simple melodies, children's and folk songs, as well as calm improvisations. It belongs to the cabinet type, featuring a hollow resonant body that amplifies the vibrations of the strings, providing a fuller and longer sustain to the tone. The surface of the instrument is made of mahogany veneer with delicately engraved plant ornaments and a motif of a stag's head. The upper part of the frame is adorned with two carved horns, giving the lyre a characteristic ancient appearance.

The note names are engraved directly at the tuning pegs, allowing you to orient yourself on the instrument right from the start without needing to memorise sheet music. Shorter strings produce higher notes, while longer strings produce deeper notes, so you will grasp the principle of playing within a few minutes. The strings are tensioned on metal tuning pegs that can be adjusted with the included tuning key. At the bottom, there is a metal strip that protects the wood at the point where the strings are attached. The dimensions of 38.5 x 26 x 3.5 cm allow for comfortable playing while seated with the instrument resting on your lap, and the lyre can be easily transported from the room to the garden or taken on trips.

Before playing for the first time, tune the instrument using a tuner or a phone app, and gently tighten or loosen each string with the tuning key. New strings stretch during the first few days, so it is necessary to tune more frequently at first. Store the lyre in a dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as wood reacts to changes in humidity and temperature. Dust from the surface can be wiped off with a dry soft cloth. If a string breaks, you can replace it with the included spare string.

The cabinet lyre harp with a hollow resonant body is suitable for anyone who wants to play without the complicated study of music theory. It is ideal for relaxation, meditation, yoga, singing with children, or as an accompaniment to storytelling. Thanks to the engraved note names and the included manual, you will learn your first song in just one afternoon. The carved horns and delicate decoration also make it a lovely ornament for your home when not in use. As a gift, it will delight musicians and complete beginners alike, and with the included tuning key, you will keep it in good tuning for a long time.
